Background
Pertussis, commonly called whooping cough, is a highly contagious disease of the respiratory system caused by small gram negative bacteria; Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis. Clinically, it presents with a prolonged cough and patients with classic disease often have episodes of violent cough that may be followed by an inspiratory whoop and vomiting. The World Health Organization estimates that there are 50 million whooping cough cases worldwide each year, resulting in 350,000 deaths. Pertussis can be detected among all age groups (e.g., neonates, children, adolescents and adults).
A great majority of these cases are caused by Bordetella pertussis; however, up to 20% of cases are caused by Bordetella parapertussis, which can present clinically as a milder pertussis-like disease.
Why to choose it
A CLIA moderate complexity assay with broad coverage, including both B. pertussis and B. parapertussis, for your testing needs. The assay improves efficiency with a true sample-to-answer workflow without DNA extraction.
