Whooping cough can be caused by eitherBordetella pertussis orBordetella parapertussis. Although the two species share an almost complete DNA identity,Bordetella parapertussis does not produce pertussis toxin, which is thought to be the main virulence factor ofBordetella pertussis. In order to elucidate the role of pertussis toxin in causing the typical symptoms of whooping cough, clinical information from 33 patients with culture-positiveBordetella parapertussis infection was collected and compared to that from 331 patients with infection caused byBordetella pertussis. Isolated strains ofBordetella parapertussis lacked pertussis toxin expression, as was demonstrated by negative tests for histamine sensitization. This was further substantiated in vivo by a significantly lower leukocyte count in the parapertussis group as compared to the pertussis group. Frequencies of typical symptoms of whooping cough, such as paroxysmal coughing, whooping and vomiting, were almost identical in the two groups. Nocturnal coughing and contact anamnesis were noted more often in theBordetella pertussis group. Children in the parapertussis group were significantly more often vaccinated with whole-cell pertussis vaccine than children infected withBordetella pertussis. The results indicate that pertussis toxin may not play a decisive role in causing the typical symptoms of whooping cough, such as paroxysmal coughing, whooping and vomiting. 相似文献

The epidemiology of whooping cough in a vaccinated population was studied during an outbreak of paroxysmal cough in an elementary school with 258 pupils in Turku, Finland. Nasopharyngeal specimens for isolation ofBordetella pertussis and/or sera for ELISA detection of antipertussis immunoglobulin M, A and G antibodies were taken from 94 % of children who were prospectively followed for two months.Bordetella pertussis was isolated in six patients, and 17 culture-positive cases withBordetella parapertussis were identified. Patients withBordetella pertussis orBordetella parapertussis were found simultaneously in the same classrooms. Comparison of immunoglobulin M responses toBordetella pertussis andBordetella parapertussis was used for differential diagnosis of these two infections. Twenty-six cases with pertussis and 27 cases with parapertussis were diagnosed. The results of this prospective study suggest thatBordetella parapertussis is a more common etiologic agent of mild respiratory tract infection among vaccinated school-aged children than is generally recognised. The possibility thatBordetella pertussis was converted toBordetella parapertussis during this outbreak is discussed. 相似文献

Serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of Bordetella pertussis and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Bordetella parapertussis were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in paired sera from 40 children with pertussis and 14 with parapertussis. Wide differences in the individual responses were noted. Both anti-LOS and -LPS IgG levels increased significantly in the children with pertussis, as did anti-LPS but not anti-LOS in those with parapertussis. 相似文献

The protective immunity induced by infection with Bordetella pertussis and with Bordetella parapertussis was examined in a murine model of respiratory infection. Convalescent mice that had been infected by aerosol with B. pertussis or with B. parapertussis exhibited a protective immune response against B. pertussis and also against B. parapertussis. Anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (anti-FHA) serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and anti-FHA lung IgA antibodies were detected in both mice infected with B. pertussis and those infected with B. parapertussis. Antibodies against pertussis toxin (anti-PT) and against killed B. pertussis cells were detected in mice infected with B. pertussis. Pertactin-specific antibodies and antibodies against killed B. parapertussis cells were detected in mice infected with B. parapertussis. Spleen cells from mice infected with B. pertussis secreted interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in response to stimulation by FHA or PT. Spleen cells from mice infected with B. parapertussis also secreted IFN-gamma in response to FHA. Interleukin-4 was not produced in response to any of the antigens tested. The profiles of cytokine secretion in vitro revealed induction of a Th1-biased immune response during convalescence from infection by B. pertussis and by B. parapertussis. It is possible that Th1 and Th2 responses against FHA might be related to the reciprocal protection achieved in our murine model. 相似文献

Hybrid cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies against Bordetella pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) were established. The specificity of the antibodies was ascertained by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), sandwich ELISA, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by electroblotting. The monoclonal antibody-based sandwich ELISA was developed for detection of B. pertussis FHA. The assay had a detection limit of B. pertussis FHA in concentrations ranging from 7 to 15 ng/ml. The assay was also able to detect whole B. pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, and Bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria. No cross-reactions were observed with strains of Branhamella catarrhalis, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, Streptococcus miteor, or Streptococcus pneumoniae. The monoclonal antibodies might be useful for the detection of soluble antigens and whole bacteria in clinical samples and for studies of the immunochemical structure of B. pertussis FHA. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies to Bordetella pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used in a colony blot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay designed for rapid detection of B. pertussis. Bacterial colonies from Bordet-Gengou agar plates were blotted onto nitrocellulose filter disks, lysed by immersion in chloroform, and reacted with monoclonal antibodies. Following reaction with peroxidase-conjugated rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin antisera and 4-chloro-1-naphthol, blue dots representing single colonies appeared on the filters. Blotting of single B. pertussis colonies could be performed after incubation for 40 h, i.e., before the colonies were visible by eye on the agar surface. Ten of ten B. pertussis strains showed positive blotting reactions with antibodies specific for B. pertussis FHA and LPS. Fourteen of fourteen B. parapertussis strains reacted with two of the FHA-specific antibodies but not with two of the LPS-specific antibodies. Strains of B. bronchiseptica showed a variable reaction pattern. No cross-reactions were observed with strains of Streptococcus mitis, S. pyogenes, S. pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Branhamella catarrhalis, or Klebsiella pneumoniae. This assay may be useful for identification of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis in suspected cases of whooping cough. 相似文献

The clinical trial conducted in Italy to evaluate the efficacy of acellular pertussis vaccines provided an opportunity to estimate the frequency of clinical infections with Bordetella parapertussis and to compare the clinical characteristics of children suffering from Bordetella pertussis illness with those of children with B. parapertussis illness. This study dealt with 76 B. parapertussis infections diagnosed from a population of 15,601 children participating in the follow-up of suspected cases of pertussis. An overall incidence of 2.1 cases of laboratory-confirmed parapertussis per 1,000 person-years was observed. Children affected by B. parapertussis infections showed a less severe clinical picture both in the duration of symptoms and in the percentage of patients affected, even when compared with vaccinated children with pertussis. To characterize the isolated strains, we performed assays for susceptibility to erythromycin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, and we examined the genomic DNAs by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The results showed a high degree of genetic stability among B. parapertussis strains regardless of time of collection and geographical distribution. 相似文献

Bordetella isolates in the Saint Petersburg region have been monitored since 1998. Over the past ten years, concomitant with the increase in pertussis whole-cell vaccine coverage, the incidence of whooping cough has decreased. However, this decrease exists only for Bordetella pertussis infections, as the incidence of Bordetella parapertussis confirmed cases has remained stable, suggesting that pertussis-vaccine-induced immunity is not protective against parapertussis, as expected. B. pertussis and B. parapertussis clinical isolates were analyzed using serotyping, immunoblotting, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of chromosomal DNA (after digestion with XbaI) and sequencing of virulence genes. The bacterial population is now similar to that observed in other European countries. 相似文献

Immunization with whole-cell pertussis vaccines (WCV) containing heat-killed Bordetella pertussis cells and with acellular vaccines containing genetically or chemically detoxified pertussis toxin (PT) in combination with filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), pertactin (Prn), or fimbriae confers protection in humans and animals against B. pertussis infection. In an earlier study we demonstrated that FHA is involved in the adherence of these bacteria to human bronchial epithelial cells. In the present study we investigated whether mouse antibodies directed against B. pertussis FHA, PTg, Prn, and fimbriae, or against two other surface molecules, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the 40-kDa outer membrane porin protein (OMP), that are not involved in bacterial adherence, were able to block adherence of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis to human bronchial epithelial cells. All antibodies studied inhibited the adherence of B. pertussis to these epithelial cells and were equally effective in this respect. Only antibodies against LPS and 40-kDa OMP affected the adherence of B. parapertussis to epithelial cells. We conclude that antibodies which recognize surface structures on B. pertussis or on B. parapertussis can inhibit adherence of the bacteria to bronchial epithelial cells, irrespective whether these structures play a role in adherence of the bacteria to these cells. 相似文献

Bordetella adenylate cyclase is a virulence associated factor and an immunoprotective antigen 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are both causative agents of whooping cough outbreaks. Although not expressing the pertussis toxin, B. parapertussis induces, in a murine model, an acute hemorrhagic edematous alveolitis, similar to that observed with B. pertussis. These data suggest that the pertussis toxin may only play an accessory role in the acute pulmonary syndrome observed during Bordetella infection. Both with B. pertussis and B. parapertussis, the ability to induce lethal pulmonary lesions is associated with enhanced in vitro adenylate cyclase expression and activity. We also demonstrate that passive immunization with specific anti-B. pertussis adenylate cyclase antibodies or active immunization with purified B. pertussis secreted adenylate cyclase protect mice against a lethal respiratory challenge with B. pertussis or B. parapertussis. Our results suggest that adenylate cyclase might be the primary cytotoxin responsible for mouse pulmonary lesions during respiratory tract infection with B. pertussis or with the related species B. parapertussis and is a protective antigen of B. pertussis. 相似文献

Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are closely related endemic human pathogens which cause whooping cough, a disease that is reemerging in human populations. Despite how closely related these pathogens are, their coexistence and the limited efficacy of B. pertussis vaccines against B. parapertussis suggest a lack of cross-protective immunity between the two. We sought to address the ability of infection-induced immunity against one of these pathogens to protect against subsequent infection by the other using a mouse model of infection. Immunity induced by B. parapertussis infection protected against subsequent infections by either species. However, immunity induced by B. pertussis infection prevented subsequent B. pertussis infections but did not protect against B. parapertussis infections. The O antigen of B. parapertussis inhibited binding of antibodies to the bacterial surface and was required for B. parapertussis to colonize mice convalescent from B. pertussis infection. Thus, the O antigen of B. parapertussis confers asymmetrical cross-immunity between the causative agents of whooping cough. We propose that these findings warrant investigation of the relative role of B. parapertussis in the resurgence of whooping cough. 相似文献

Five outbreaks of infection (three pertussis, one parapertussis, and one mixed) in schools were studied prospectively. Nasopharyngeal swabs were obtained from a total of 697 children for culture of Bordetella organisms. Of 50 vaccinated children with culture-confirmed Bordetella infections (29 with pertussis and 21 parapertussis), 40 were symptomatic and 10 remained symptom-free. Smaller numbers of colonies were recovered from the nasopharyngeal swabs of the asymptomatic children than from those of the symptomatic children. Older children had longer durations of illness than younger ones. Our results indicate that during outbreaks children who do not develop disease may have small amounts of Bordetella organisms in their nasopharynges and/or better immune defenses against the disease. 相似文献

The aim of the study presented here was to analyze parapertussis infections occurring in the region of Warsaw, Poland, between 1995 and 2002 and to characterize the Bordetella parapertussis isolates using macrorestriction digestion of genomic DNA. Fourteen of the 17 patients with confirmed Bordetella parapertussis infection were between the ages of 5 and 9 years, and 14 had documented vaccination with the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis whole-cell vaccine; for the remaining three patients vaccination data was not available. DNA fingerprinting performed using recommended standard methodology revealed a close relationship between the examined strains and reference strain ATCC 9305, thus confirming the conservative nature of Bordetella parapertussis. 相似文献

Waning vaccine-induced immunity against Bordetella pertussis is observed among adolescents and adults. A high incidence of pertussis has been reported in this population, which serves as a reservoir for B. pertussis. A fifth dose of reduced antigen of diphtheria-tetanus-acellular-pertussis and inactivated polio vaccine was given as a booster dose to healthy teenagers. The antibody activity against B. pertussis antigens was measured prior to and 4 to 8 weeks after the booster by different assays: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) of IgG and IgA against pertussis toxin (PT) and filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), IgG against pertactin (PRN), opsonophagocytic activity (OPA), and IgG binding to live B. pertussis. There was a significant increase in the IgG activity against PT, FHA, and PRN following the booster immunization (P < 0.001). The prebooster sera showed a geometric mean OPA titer of 65.1 and IgG binding to live bacteria at a geometric mean concentration of 164.9 arbitrary units (AU)/ml. Following the fifth dose, the OPA increased to a titer of 360.4, and the IgG concentration against live bacteria increased to 833.4 AU/ml (P < 0.001 for both). The correlation analyses between the different assays suggest that antibodies against FHA and PRN contribute the most to the OPA and IgG binding. 相似文献

Biological diagnosis of whooping cough is increasingly necessary to confirm respiratory tract infection. Indeed, clinical symptoms are variable especially in adolescents and adults who contaminate newborns too young to be vaccinated. The PCR assay was proven highly sensitive for the diagnosis of pertussis. In this study, we reported the use of a new test (GenoQuick® Bordetella [GQB], Hain Life Science, Germany) which permits the fast molecular genetic identification of Bordetella pertussis and parapertussis directly from patients specimens, i.e. swabs from nose or throat. The test was performed over a three months period on 40 specimens from patients (1 month to 65 years old), most of them were young children admitted in paediatric emergency with paroxysmal cough or prolonged cough. 相似文献

Given the resurgence of pertussis despite high rates of vaccination with the diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine, a better understanding of vaccine-induced immune responses to Bordetella pertussis is needed. We investigated the antibody, cell-mediated, and cytokine responses to B. pertussis antigens in children who received the primary vaccination series (at 2, 4, and 6 months) and first booster vaccination (at 15 to 18 months) with 5-component acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine. The majority of subjects demonstrated a 4-fold increase in antibody titer to all four pertussis antigens (pertussis toxin [PT], pertactin [PRN], filamentous hemagglutinin [FHA], and fimbriae [FIM]) following the primary series and booster vaccination. Following the primary vaccine series, the majority of subjects (52 to 67%) mounted a positive T cell proliferative response (stimulation index of ≥3) to the PT and PRN antigens, while few subjects (7 to 12%) mounted positive proliferative responses to FHA and FIM. One month after booster vaccination (age 16 to 19 months), our study revealed significant increase in gamma interferon (IFN-γ) production in response to the PT and FIM antigens, a significant increase in IL-2 production with the PT, FHA, and PRN antigens, and a lack of significant interleukin-4 (IL-4) secretion with any of the antigens. While previous reports documented a mixed Th1/Th2 or Th2-skewed response to DTaP vaccine in children, our data suggest that following the first DTaP booster, children aged 16 to 19 months have a cytokine profile consistent with a Th1 response, which is known to be essential for clearance of pertussis infection. To better define aP-induced immune responses following the booster vaccine, further studies are needed to assess cytokine responses pre- and postbooster in DTaP recipients. 相似文献

Whooping cough is a reemerging disease caused by two closely related pathogens, Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis. The incidence of B. parapertussis in whooping cough cases has been increasing since the introduction of acellular pertussis vaccines containing purified antigens that are common to both strains. Recently published results demonstrated that these vaccines do not protect against B. parapertussis due to the presence of the O antigen on the bacterial surface that impairs antibody access to shared antigens. We have investigated the effect of the lack of opsonization of B. parapertussis on the outcome of its interaction with human neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes [PMNs]). In the absence of opsonic antibodies, PMN interaction with B. parapertussis resulted in nonbactericidal trafficking upon phagocytosis. A high percentage of nonopsonized B. parapertussis was found in nonacidic lysosome marker (lysosome-associated membrane protein [LAMP])-negative phagosomes with access to the host cell-recycling pathway of external nutrients, allowing bacterial survival as determined by intracellular CFU counts. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O antigen was found to be involved in directing B. parapertussis to PMN lipid rafts, eventually determining the nonbactericidal fate inside the PMN. IgG opsonization of B. parapertussis drastically changed this interaction by not only inducing efficient PMN phagocytosis but also promoting PMN bacterial killing. These data provide new insights into the immune mechanisms of hosts against B. parapertussis and document the crucial importance of opsonic antibodies in immunity to this pathogen. 相似文献

MICs and MBCs of four new macrolides (azithromycin, clarithromycin, dirithromycin and roxithromycin) and two older macrolides (erythromycin and josamycin) forBordetella pertussis andBordetella parapertussis were determined. The activity of the new macrolides was as good as that of erythromycin, while josamycin was slightly less active.Bordetella parapertussis was more resistant thanBordetella pertussis. 相似文献

A single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody library against Bordetella pertussis was constructed using M13 phage display. The library was enriched for phages surface displaying functional scFv by biopanning against B. pertussis immobilized on polystyrene plates. Two hundred eighty-eight individual clones from the enriched library were screened for binding to B. pertussis cells, filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), and pertactin (PRN) in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Based on the binding ability, the clones were put into eight groups. The scFv DNA inserts from the 288 clones were digested with BstOI, and 18 unique restriction patterns, named types 1 to 18, were found. Eight clones (types 1 to 7 and 18) were selected for further testing against FHA, PRN, and B. pertussis by ELISA. The results showed that types 1, 5, 7, and 18 bound strongly to B. pertussis cells as well as FHA and PRN. Type 3 bound strongly to the cells and FHA but weakly to PRN. Types 4 and 6 bound FHA only, and type 2 did not bind to the cells or antigens. The ability of the eight clones to inhibit B. pertussis from binding to HEp-2 cells was assayed. Types 1, 5, and 7, but not the remaining clones, inhibited the adherence of B. pertussis to HEp-2 cells. The scFvs were sequenced, and the deduced amino acid sequence showed that the scFvs were different antibodies. Maltose-binding protein (MBP) fusion proteins composed of three different regions of FHA (heparin-binding domain, carbohydrate recognition domain, and the RGD triplet motif) were constructed. The three fusion proteins and Mal85 (MBP-FHA type I domain) were used to map the binding sites for scFvs of types 1, 5, and 7 by ELISA. The results showed that all three scFvs bound to the heparin-binding domain fusion protein but not the other fusion proteins. BALB/c mice who received recombinant phage-treated B. pertussis had reduced bacterial counts in the nasal cavity, trachea, and lungs compared to the control groups. 相似文献
