“…The presence of Bordetella in ST deserves to be discussed in detail. Bordetella species were mainly isolated from warm-blooded animals (including humans) and, until recently, they were thought to be only animal pathogens [ 63 , 64 ]. Nonetheless, recent studies revealed that Bordetella strains could also have an environmental origin [ 64 , 65 , 66 ].…”

The “Saline di Tarquinia” salterns have been scarcely investigated regarding their microbiological aspects. This work studied the structure and composition of their bacterial communities along the salinity gradient (from the nearby sea through different ponds). The communities showed increasing simplification of pond bacterial diversity along the gradient (particularly if compared to those of the sea). Among the 38 assigned phyla, the most represented were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes. Differently to other marine salterns, where at the highest salinities Bacteroidetes dominated, preponderance of Proteobacteria was observed. At the genus level the most abundant taxa were Pontimonas, Marivita, Spiribacter, Bordetella, GpVII and Lentibacter. The α-diversity analysis showed that the communities were highly uneven, and the Canonical Correspondence Analysis indicated that they were structured by various factors (sampling site, sampling year, salinity, and sampling month). Moreover, the taxa abundance variation in relation to these significant parameters were investigated by Generalized Linear Models. This work represents the first investigation of a marine saltern, carried out by a metabarcoding approach, which permitted a broad vision of the bacterial diversity, covering both a wide temporal span (two years with monthly sampling) and the entire salinity gradient (from the nearby sea up to the crystallisation ponds).

Until recently, members of the classical Bordetella species comprised only pathogenic bacteria that were thought to live exclusively in warm-blooded animals. The close phylogenetic relationship of Bordetella with Achromobacter and Alcaligenes, which include primarily environmental bacteria, suggests that the ancestral Bordetellae were probably free-living. Eventually, the Bordetella species evolved to infect and live within warm-blooded animals. The modern history of pathogens related to the genus Bordetella started towards the end of the 19th century when it was discovered in the infected respiratory epithelium of mammals, including humans. The first identified member was Bordetella pertussis, which causes whooping cough, a fatal disease in young children. In due course, B. bronchiseptica was recovered from the trachea and bronchi of dogs with distemper. Later, a second closely related human pathogen, B. parapertussis, was described as causing milder whooping cough. The classical Bordetellae are strictly host-associated pathogens transmitted via the host-to-host aerosol route. Recently, the B. bronchiseptica strain HT200 has been reported from a thermal spring exhibiting unique genomic features that were not previously observed in clinical strains. Therefore, it advocates that members of classical Bordetella species have evolved from environmental sources. This organism can be transmitted via environmental reservoirs as it can survive nutrient-limiting conditions and possesses a motile flagellum. This study aims to review the molecular basis of origin and virulence properties of obligate host-restricted and environmental strains of classical Bordetella.
