Bordetella petrii from a clinical sample in Australia: isolation and molecular identification Stark, D. and Riley, L. A. and Harkness, J. and Marriott, D.,, 56, 435-437 (2007), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.46976-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 0022-2615, 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., language=, type=
