Project description:We describe the first clinical isolate of Bordetella petrii from a patient with mandibular osteomyelitis. The only previously documented isolation of B. petrii occurred after the initial culture of a single strain from an environmental source.
Project description:Genomic content of Bordetella pertussis clinical isolates circulating in areas of intensive children vaccination. 13 isolates and one reference strain of Bordetella pertussis used.
Project description:We performed RNA-Seq transcriptomics analyses of the Bordetella holmesii type strain ATCC 51541T under in vitro growth conditions that mimic exposure to the human bloodstream. We sequenced 3 biological replicates of each of the following conditions of exposure to heat-inactivated human serum: 5% serum, 0.5% serum, and a no serum control.
