Abstract

Bordetella holmesii is a bacterium recently recognized in 1995. It is a gram-negative coccobacillus that can cause pertussis-like symptoms in humans as well as invasive infections. It is often confused with Bordetella pertussis because routine diagnostic tests for whooping cough are not species-specific.

The prevalence of B. holmesii as a cause of pertussis has increased in several countries. Therefore, B. holmesii assays are important for determining the epidemiology of pertussis, for the choice of an effective treatment, and for detecting vaccination failures.

霍尔姆斯氏博德特氏菌：百日咳病原体

霍尔姆斯氏博德特氏菌是一种最近于 1995 年被确认的细菌。它是一种革兰氏阴性球菌，可引起人类百日咳样症状和侵入性感染。由于百日咳的常规诊断检测不具有物种特异性，它经常与百日咳博德特氏菌混淆。在一些国家，作为百日咳病因的霍尔姆斯氏菌的流行率有所上升。因此，霍乱弧菌检测对于确定百日咳的流行病学、选择有效的治疗方法和检测疫苗接种失败非常重要。
