Bacteria of the genus Bordetella adhere preferentially to ciliated respiratory epithelial cells. We investigated the specificity of this unique tropism by assessing the concentration-dependent adherence of the three Bordetella species to ciliated cells from different hosts. Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis adhere better to human ciliated cells than to those from rabbits, mice, or hamsters. In contrast, Bordetella bronchiseptica demonstrates preferential adherence to nonhuman mammalian ciliated cells of rabbits, mice, and hamsters. There was no attachment of any Bordetella organisms to chicken ciliated cells. These observations suggest that specificities of attachment may explain the marked predominance of B. pertussis as the cause of whooping cough in humans and of B. bronchiseptica as a respiratory pathogen of many nonhuman mammals.
博德特氏菌属细菌优先黏附于呼吸道纤毛上皮细胞。我们通过评估三种博德特氏菌对不同宿主的纤毛细胞的浓度依赖性黏附,研究了这种独特嗜性的特异性。百日咳博德特氏菌和副百日咳博德特氏菌对人纤毛细胞的黏附能力比对兔、小鼠或仓鼠的纤毛细胞更强。相比之下,支气管败血博德特氏菌则优先黏附于兔、小鼠和仓鼠等非人类哺乳动物的纤毛细胞。没有任何博德特氏菌能黏附于鸡的纤毛细胞。这些观察结果表明,黏附特异性可能解释了百日咳博德特氏菌作为人类百日咳病因以及支气管败血博德特氏菌作为许多非人类哺乳动物呼吸道病原体的显著优势。
