Bordetella Detection & Species Identification
Bordetella Detection and Species Identification with the Vivalytic
Cases of Bordetella infections are rising across Europe. Bordetella species are responsible for whooping cough, or pertussis, which literally means violet cough. Vaccine deployment in the 1940s saw a reduction in the morbidity and mortality associated with these infections and now, healthy adults can be expected to make a full recovery. However, vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly and the immunocompromised, have been shown to be at increased risk of more severe and long-lasting side effects, including increased risk of mortality.
