Bordetella holmesii is a human pathogen found mainly in immunocompromised patients. A specific real-time PCR assay was developed and successfully used to identify specimens from which B. holmesii was misidentified as Bordetella pertussis and to establish the prevalence of B. holmesii in Ontario patients with pertussis-like symptoms.
支气管败血博德特氏菌是一种主要存在于免疫功能低下患者中的人类病原体。本研究开发了一种特定的实时 PCR 检测方法,成功地用于鉴定将支气管败血博德特氏菌误鉴定为百日咳博德特氏菌的标本,并确定了安大略省具有类百日咳症状患者中支气管败血博德特氏菌的流行率。
