Bordetella petrii from a clinical sample in Australia: isolation and molecular identification

J Med Microbiol. 2007 Mar;56(Pt 3):435-437. doi: 10.1099/jmm.0.46976-0.

Abstract

The first isolation of Bordetella petrii from a patient with chronic suppurative mastoiditis is reported. Molecular characterization of the isolate was performed by sequencing the small-subunit rRNA gene, the Bordetella outer-membrane protein A gene (ompA) and the RisA response regulator gene (risA). This is the first reported case of B. petrii causing suppurative mastoiditis and only the second documented case of a clinically significant B. petrii isolate.
