Bordetella

Bordetella, by contrast, is rarely fatal among adult dogs.

A similar, milder disease is caused by 'Bordetella parapertussis'.

-Kennel cough is caused primarily by the bacteria bordetella bronchiseptica.

But bordetella is an umbrella term for a wide category of canine illnesses that produce a hacking cough.

In addition, canine adenoviruses Type 1 and Type 2 may accompany the bordetella.

Once inside the body, the bordetella cells irritate the mucociliary escalator in a dog's respiratory tract.

Bordetella pertussis infects its host by colonizing lung epithelial cells.

Bordetella pertussis is a gram-negative coccobacillus responsible for causing whooping cough.

Infections due to haemophilus, moraxella, legionella, bordetella, and pseudomonas.

Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough).

Dogs boarded at kennels are typically given the bordetella vaccine, which addresses only kennel cough brought on by a bacterial infection.

Bordetella bronchiseptica - (cat kennel cough)

Bordetella species, with the exception of B. petrii, are obligate aerobes, as well as highly fastidious, or difficult to culture.

"Vets say that the bordetella will guard against some strains, but not all strains," Mr. Suter said.

She added that the symptoms were often mistaken for "kennel cough," a common canine illness that is caused by the bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria.

Bordetella pertussis bvgA (virulence factor)

The symptoms mimic those of bordetella, a less virulent illness commonly known as kennel cough, for which all dogs must be vaccinated before they are boarded.

Unlike most other Bordetella toxins, tracheal cytotoxin is expressed constitutively, being a normal product of the breakdown of the bacterial cell wall.

With Octave Gengou he isolated 'Bordetella pertussis' in pure culture in 1906 and posited it as the cause of pertussis.

'Bordetella pertussis', the causative agent of whooping cough, secretes the pertussis toxin partly through the type IV system.

Bordetella bronchiseptica is a small, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Bordetella.

Pertussis (bordetella pertussis and bordetella parapertussis).

The epidemiology of pertussis: A comparison of the epidemiology of the disease pertussis with the epidemiology of bordetella pertussis infection.

Bordetella parapertussis shows the most similarity to B. pertussis and was therefore used for research determining the role of PT in causing the typical symptoms of whooping cough.
