Laboratory diagnosis of Bordetella infections

Presented at DiaSorin Molecular's ASM Clinical Virology Symposium 2019 Industry & Science Workshop Jim Dunn, PhD, D(ABMM) Director of Medical Microbiology and Virology | Texas Children's Hospital Associate Professor, Pathology & Immunology | Baylor College of Medicine Fellowship Director, Medical and Public Health Microbiology Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis are Gram negative bacteria that cause highly contagious respiratory infections. Laboratory diagnosis of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis infections has historically relied on methods such as conventional culture, serology or direct fluorescent antibody testing; all of which are insensitive and time-consuming. Current molecular methods have improved to allow for direct testing of nasopharyngeal specimens in a rapid manner, which is important for prompt institution of antimicrobial therapy, infection control measures and public health reporting. Rapid molecular testing results with Simplexa Bordetella Direct will be presented.
