The differential host species specificities of Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica might be explained by polymorphisms in adherence factor genes. We have found that B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica, unlike B. pertussis, contain a full-length gene for the fimbrial subunit FimA. B. bronchiseptica expresses fimA in a BvgAS-dependent fashion.
百日咳博德特氏菌、副百日咳博德特氏菌和支气管败血博德特氏菌不同的宿主物种特异性可能由黏附因子基因的多态性来解释。我们发现,与百日咳博德特氏菌不同,副百日咳博德特氏菌和支气管败血博德特氏菌含有完整的菌毛亚基FimA基因。支气管败血博德特氏菌以一种依赖于BvgAS的方式表达fimA。
