“…Recent studies in Spain, included the studies published in this issue of EIMC 15 , 16 show a high impact of maternal pertussis vaccination in the hospitalization rate due to pertussis among infants. The article of Botia et al 15 shows an important reduction of risk of hospitalisation in children aged <2 months and the study of Leon-Morillo et al 16 suggests a reduction of cases and severity of pertussis in children aged <6 months.…”

The national rate of hospitalization among infants younger than 3 months dropped dramatically and consistently along the post-vaccination period (2016-2019): in 2019, the hospitalization rate (161 per 100,000 population) was more than five times lower than the hospitalization rate (880 per 100,000) reached in 2015.…”

Bordetellae are catalase positive and oxidize amino acids, but no carbohydrates are fermented. Achromobacter species are Gram‐negative, nonsporulating, small bacilli. Alcaligenes species are Gram‐negative, strictly aerobic rods or coccobacilli that possess oxidase and catalase activity. Cells of Kerstersia and Advenella species are Gram‐negative, small, and rod‐shaped or coccoid and occur alone, in pairs, or in short chains. Motility is strain dependent. Cells from Paenalcaligenes species are Gram‐negative, small rods. Many Achromobacter species have been recovered from clinical samples or from the hospital environment. Direct fluorescent‐antibody staining (DFA) on nasopharyngeal swabs or aspirates to detect B. pertussis or B. parapertussis is rapid and simple but lacks adequate sensitivity and specificity; for this reason, DFA is not recommended.
