Bordetella parapertussis Bacteremia: Clinical Expression and Bacterial Genomics

Abstract: Whooping cough’s primary etiological agent is Bordetella pertussis . The closely related Bordetella parapertussis rarely causes severe disease. Here we report an unusual case of bacteremia caused by B. parapertussis , review the literature, and characterize the genomic sequence of the bacterial isolate in comparison with B. parapertussis isolates from respiratory infections.

“…[5] Typical symptoms include a paroxysmal cough, post-tussive vomiting, and subconjunctival hemorrhage. B parapertussis can cause severe invasive infections, [3,12] mostly in immunocompromised hosts. [2] Patients with acute EB infection may be considered immunocompromised owing to their susceptibility to infection.…”

“…It plays an important role in B. pertussis as a virulence factor mediating adhesion of bacterium to the host cell and is also shown to be expressed in B. parapertussis [36]. The multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis according to 7-gene scheme [37] shows IRBP134 belonged to ST19 as it is reported for B. parapertussis strain 12822, FR6242 and some other recently collected isolates [24].…”

“…The genetic relationships of the Iranian B. parapertussis isolate, IRBP134, with global available isolates was compared (Figure -1) with 102 available human B. parapertussis genomes representing seven countries from 1974 to 2018 from multiple studies mainly collected from the United States (Supplementary File-3) [15,24]. The maximum parsimony tree was constructed using 896 SNPs against B. parapertussis strain 12822.…”
