Feb 25th, 2021 - In industrialized countries, the routine use of Bordetella pertussis vaccines has shifted the burden of Bordetella pertussis disease from children to infants, adolescents and adults, leading to the necessity for booster doses. We prepared a review...

Feb 25th, 2021 - Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) provides allele-based characterization of bacterial pathogens in a standardized framework. However, classical MLST schemes for Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, seldom reveal diversity ...

Feb 24th, 2021 - Pertussis is a vaccine-preventable disease, and its recent resurgence might be attributable to the emergence of strains that differ genetically from the vaccine strain. We describe a novel pertussis isolate-based surveillance system and a core gen...

Feb 23rd, 2021 - The two-component system BvgAS controls the virulence regulon in Bordetella pertussis BvgS is the prototype of a family of sensor histidine-kinases harboring periplasmic Venus flytrap (VFT) domains. The VFT domains are connected to the cytoplasmic...

Feb 22nd, 2021 - Transplacentally transferred antibodies induced by maternal pertussis vaccination interfere with infant immune responses to pertussis primary vaccination. We evaluated whether this interference remains in toddlers after booster vaccination. In a p...

Feb 6th, 2020 - On December 21, 2018 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensed a hexavalent combined diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis (DTaP) adsorbed, inactivated poliovirus (IPV), Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate (meningo...

Jan 23rd, 2020 - Since 2005, a single dose of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine has been recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for adolescents and adults (1,2). After receipt of Tdap,...

Mar 12th, 2019 - We characterized 170 complete genome assemblies from clinical Bordetella pertussis isolates representing geographic and temporal diversity in the United States. These data capture genotypic shifts, including increased pertactin deficiency, occurri...

Apr 27th, 2018 - This report compiles and summarizes all recommendations from CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) regarding prevention and control of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis in the United States. As a comprehensive summary of previ...

Aug 23rd, 2017 - The overwhelming majority of morbidity and mortality attributable to pertussis infection occurs in infants who are 3 months and younger. Infants do not begin their own vaccine series against pertussis until approximately 2 months of age. This leav...

Jan 27th, 2021 - Vaccination series against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP); tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap); and tetanus and diphtheria (Td) provide necessary protection against these diseases and their associated complications. It is importan...

Oct 22nd, 2020 - Only 30.6% of American adolescents complete three routinely recommended vaccinations, new research has found, but that number varies widely by state. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that by age 17, adolescents complete ...

Feb 3rd, 2020 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine can be substituted for the tetanus and diphtheria toxoids (Td) vaccine in situations where only Td vaccine had been recommended previ...
