Comparison of Bordetella species identification among differing rt-PCR assays in the United States

ABSTRACT In the United States, the general laboratory method for diagnosing pertussis, caused by Bordetella pertussis, is real-time PCR (rt-PCR) targeting insertion sequence 481 (IS481). Other Bordetella species (parapertussis, holmesii, and bronchiseptica) can also cause a pertussis-like syndrome,...
