Bordetella
Presentation
- We present a rare case of endocarditis in a 33-year-old woman with a splenectomy. The patient presented with meningeal symptoms and was diagnosed with endocarditis on the medical admissions unit using a portable echocardiography machine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Herein, we present a case of fatal B. trematum bacteremia with septic shock. The presumed primary site of the infection was a rapidly developing left leg deep soft tissue infection without necrotizing fasciitis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The rare occurrence and challenges in identifying this pathogen led us to perform a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, clinical presentations, and treatment options for this potentially invasive pathogen.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- In the present case, there was no evidence for a causative role of the organism in the diabetic foot infection, which is in agreement with previously published data.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Clinical presentations have included endocarditis, pneumonia, cellulitis, suppurative arthritis, pyelonephritis and septicaemia but no previous reports have documented meningitis secondary to this organism.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Camping
- Comparison of the potencies of WT toxin and those of mutants that only increase cAMP or only create transmembrane pores establishes that at least two mechanisms are contributory and that simply the production of cAMP is not enough to account for the cytotoxicity[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Compared with intact CyaA, a CyaA-AC- toxoid unable to generate cAMP promoted a faster, albeit transient, elevation of [Ca2 ]i.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Compared with intact CyaA, a CyaA-AC – toxoid unable to generate cAMP promoted a faster, albeit transient, elevation of [Ca 2 ] i .[doi.org]
- Compared with intact CyaA, a CyaA-AC – toxoid unable to generate cAMP promoted a faster, albeit transient, elevation of [Ca 2 ] i.[doi.org]
Wound Infection
- B. trematum has previously been identified in wound infections, but rarely known to be a source of bacteremia. Currently, 16S rRNA sequencing represents the reference standard method by which identification is made.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
Bronchorrhea
- After this first episode, the patient was hospitalized an additional 4 times with bronchorrhea symptoms. The isolates collected were analyzed by using biochemical, genotypic, and proteomic tools.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Purulent Sputum
- The patient was first hospitalized due to dyspnea, which developed into severe cough with purulent sputum that yielded B. petrii on culture. After this first episode, the patient was hospitalized an additional 4 times with bronchorrhea symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Productive Cough
- The patient had a moderate fever and productive cough, and her condition was initially diagnosed as mycoplasmal bronchitis on the basis of her clinical symptoms and rapid serodiagnosis of mycoplasmal infection.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Here we report the first two published cases of septic arthritis caused by B. holmesii documented in apparently immunocompetent patients and unaccompanied by bacteremia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Clinical presentations have included endocarditis, pneumonia, cellulitis, suppurative arthritis, pyelonephritis and septicaemia but no previous reports have documented meningitis secondary to this organism.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Although first reported to induce bacteremia mainly in immunocompromised patients, it has also been isolated in healthy persons and has shown the capacity to induce pertussis-like symptoms and other clinical entities, such as meningitis, arthritis, or[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
Ulcer
- However, B. trematum has to be considered when otherwise unclassified Gram-negative rods are isolated from infected diabetic ulcers.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Bordetella trematum spp. nov. has been isolated from wounds, ear infections and diabetic ulcers. We report a case of a 7-month-old infant with fever, vomiting and abnormal body movements with bacteremia caused by this novel species.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- We report on two new cases Bordetella trematum in chronic ulcers. Literature shows that this species is infrequently isolated from clinical samples. Only a few cases have been reported so far.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
Meningism
- B. holmesii meningitis has not been previously reported.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Here we report what we believe to be the first clinical description of an adult with B. holmesii meningitis and bacteraemia with a brief review of published cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The patient presented with meningeal symptoms and was diagnosed with endocarditis on the medical admissions unit using a portable echocardiography machine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Although first reported to induce bacteremia mainly in immunocompromised patients, it has also been isolated in healthy persons and has shown the capacity to induce pertussis-like symptoms and other clinical entities, such as meningitis, arthritis, or[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
- There are no current standards for susceptibility testing or treatment recommendations.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Treatment is delicate, as its susceptibility to macrolides (prescribed in respiratory infections) and ceftriaxone (used in invasive disease) is challenged.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- We report a case of fulminant endocarditis on a prosthetic homograft aortic valve caused by Bordetella holmesii, which was successfully managed by surgical valve replacement and antibiotic treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
