Description |
Bordetella bronchiseptica, Bordetella pertussis and
Bordetella parapertussis and are closely related Gram-negative
Beta-proteobacteria that colonize the respiratory tracts of mammals. B.
bronchiseptica causes chronic respiratory infections in a wide range of
animals. B. bronchiseptica is encountered as a commensal or colonizer
of the respiratory tract of humans and rarely in association with infection.
When found as a probable pathogen, most infections have been respiratory tract
in origin and have occurred in severely compromised hosts. The outer-membrane
protein pertactin of B. bronchiseptica is believed to function as an
adhesin and is an important immunogen (Ref.1 & 2).
Glutathione in
Bordetella is a tripeptide, composed of Glutamate, Cysteine and Glycine, and has
numerous important functions within the bacterial cell. This tripeptide is
