11/18. bordetella bronchiseptica bronchitis.The clinical course of a patient with bronchitis caused by bordetella bronchiseptica is described. The organism was recovered on one occasion from a protected catheter brush specimen obtained at bronchoscopy and on two occasions from expectorated sputum specimens. The infection was eradicated with antimicrobial therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
12/18. bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.This case report describes two episodes of pneumonia caused by bordetella bronchiseptica in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. There was discrepancy between the in vitro sensitivity testing of the organism and subsequent clinical response to several antimicrobial agents. Human infection with B bronchiseptica is almost always associated with severe underlying disease and contact with an appropriate animal reservoir.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
13/18. Bordetella bronchicanis (bronchiseptica) infection in man: review and a case report.Bordetella bronchicanis is a common respiratory tract commensal of mammals. Rarely it causes whooping cough in children. Compromised adults in hospitals may be colonised, and one terminal pneumonia is on record. The fatal pneumonia of a malnourished alcoholic described here was contracted at home.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
14/18. bordetella bronchiseptica peritonitis associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.bordetella bronchiseptica has rarely been reported as an opportunistic pathogen in humans. This is the first documented report of peritonitis due to B. bronchiseptica. The organism was seen on a Gram strain of peritoneal fluid and was isolated from a culture of the fluid. It was thought that the source of infection was related to the close contact of the patient with his dog. The patient was successfully treated with chloramphenicol administered intraperitoneally and intravenously.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
15/18. Human bordetella bronchiseptica infection related to contact with infected animals: persistence of bacteria in host.Within a period of 2 1/2 years, bordetella bronchiseptica was isolated four times from a 79-year-old woman with bronchopneumonia. We have demonstrated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis that this infection was related to contact with infected rabbits. The initial human B. bronchiseptica isolate had a phenotype characteristic of usual B. bronchiseptica clinical isolates; it produced toxin and adhesins, such as adenylate cyclase-hemolysin, filamentous hemagglutinin, and pertactin, and was able to induce lethality in a murine respiratory model. By contrast, although the three successive human isolates produced adhesins, they did not express adenylate cyclase-hemolysin and were unable to induce lethality. This implies that adenylate cyclase-hemolysin is required to induce lethality. We suggest that B. bronchiseptica may persist in the host, with expression of adenylate cyclase-hemolysin being essential for the initiation of infection and expression of adhesins being essential for persistence.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
16/18. bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia in a patient with AIDS.bordetella bronchiseptica is recognised as a respiratory tract pathogen in many mammalian species, but has rarely been implicated in human infection. A case is reported of pneumonia caused by B bronchiseptica in a patient suffering from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
17/18. Bordetella bronchoseptica pneumonia with shock in an immunocompetent patient.Bordetella bronchoseptica is a rarely reported cause of human infection, but is a common respiratory tract commensal of mammals. Human infection with B. bronchoseptica is almost always associated with severe underlying disease and contact with an appropriate animal reservoir. We report a case of pneumonia with shock caused by B. bronchoseptica in an immunocompetent patient.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
18/18. Characteristics of Bordetella hinzii strains isolated from a cystic fibrosis patient over a 3-year period.Over a 3-year period, an adult cystic fibrosis patient underwent eight episodes of pulmonary exacerbation of his disease. At least one of two different strains of Bordetella hinzii could be isolated from sputum samples in every instance. The differentiation of B. hinzii from related taxa and its role as an etiologic agent of infections are discussed. The two isolates of B. hinzii reported are the third and fourth human-derived strains described in the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
