Abstract
This case report describes a 43-year-old man who presented with respiratory distress and was diagnosed with an exacerbation of congestive heart failure and multifocal pneumonia caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica. Microbiological work up of a respiratory sample identified the causative organism, prompting antibiotic treatment and recommending vaccination for his dog. This case emphasizes the need to consider diverse origins in respiratory infections for effective clinical management.

Hu Y, Shi W, Meng Q, Yuan L, Gao W, Wang L, Yao K. Detection of Bordetella spp. in children with pertussis-like illness from 2018 to 2024 in China. J Infect 2024; 89:106222. [PMID: 39002934 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinf.2024.106222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis), B. parapertussis, B. holmesii, and B. bronchiseptica on pertussis resurgence in China, particularly the sharp rise since the latest winter. METHODS Nasopharyngeal swabs collected from children with pertussis-like illness from January 2018 to March 2024 were cultured to detect B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, B. holmesii, and B. bronchiseptica, and tested for all of these except for B. bronchiseptica using a pooled real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) kit targeting insertion sequences ptxS1, IS481, IS1001, and hIS1001. RESULTS Out of the collected 7732 nasopharyngeal swabs, 1531 cases tested positive for B. pertussis (19.8%, 1531/7732), and 10 cases were positive for B. parapertussis (0.1%, 10/7732). B. holmesii and B.bronchiseptica were not detected. The number of specimens and the detection rate of B. pertussis were 1709 and 26.9% (459/1709) in 2018, 1936 and 20.7% (400/1936) in 2019, which sharply declined to 308 and 11.4% (35/308) in 2020, 306 and 4.2% (13/306) in 2021, and then notably increased to 754 and 17.6% (133/754) in 2022, 1842 and 16.0% (295/1842) in 2023, 877 and 22.3% (196/877) in the first quarter of 2024. The proportion of children aged 3 to less than 6 years (preschool age) and 6 to 16 years (school age) in pertussis cases increased significantly during the study period, especially the proportion of school-aged children increased from 2.0% (9/459) in 2018 to 40.8% (80/196) in 2024. CONCLUSIONS B. pertussis was the predominant pathogen among children with pertussis-like illness in China, with sporadic detection of B. parapertussis and no detection of B. holmesii or B.bronchiseptica. The preschool and school-age children are increasingly prevalent in B. pertussis infection cases, which may be associated with the latest rapid escalation of pertussis outbreak.

Abstract
Typical pathogenic bacteria of the genus Bordetella cause respiratory diseases, many of which are characterized by severe coughing in host animals. In human infections with these bacteria, such as whooping cough, coughing imposes a heavy burden on patients. The pathophysiology of this severe coughing had long been uncharacterized because convenient animal models that reproduce Bordetella-induced cough have not been available. However, rat and mouse models were recently shown as useful for understanding, at least partially, the causative factors and the mechanism of Bordetella-induced cough. Many types of coughs are induced under various physiological conditions, and the neurophysiological pathways of coughing are considered to vary among animal species, including humans. However, the neurophysiological mechanisms of the coughs in different animal species have not been entirely understood, and, accordingly, the current understanding of Bordetella-induced cough is still incomplete. Nevertheless, recent research findings may open the way for the development of prophylaxis and therapeutic measures against Bordetella-induced cough.

Abstract
Respiratory infectious diseases have long been recognised as a substantial global healthcare burden and are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, particularly in vulnerable individuals. In the post COVID-19 era, there has been a surge in the prevalence of influenza virus A and other multiple known viruses causing cold compared with during the same period in the previous three years, which coincided with countries easing COVID-19 restrictions worldwide. This article aims to review community-acquired respiratory illnesses covering a broad spectrum of viruses, bacteria, and atypical microorganisms and focuses on the cluster prevalence of multiple known respiratory pathogens in China, thereby providing effective prevention and control measures.

Abstract
Whooping cough is a disease caused by Bordetella pertussis, whose morbidity has increased, motivating the improvement of current vaccines. Reverse vaccinology is a strategy that helps identify proteins with good characteristics fast and with fewer resources. In this work, we applied reverse vaccinology to study the B. pertussis proteome and pangenome with several in-silico tools. We analyzed the B. pertussis Tohama I proteome with NERVE software and compared 234 proteins with B. parapertussis, B. bronchiseptica, and B. holmessi. VaxiJen was used to calculate an antigenicity value; our threshold was 0.6, selecting 84 proteins. The candidates were depurated and grouped in eight family proteins to select representative candidates, according to bibliographic information and their immunological response predicted with ABCpred, Bcepred, IgPred, and C-ImmSim. Additionally, a pangenome study was conducted with 603 B. pertussis strains and PanRV software, identifying 3421 core proteins that were analyzed to select the best candidates. Finally, we selected 15 proteins from the proteome study and seven proteins from the pangenome analysis as good vaccine candidates.
