“…According to this report, 94%-96% of the laboratories use IS481 as the main genomic target, and 76%-86% use a multitarget strategy to detect B pertussis. 35 In numerous countries, PCR positivity is now included as part of the diagnostic criteria and case definitions. 5,22 In Mexico, reporting pertussis is mandatory, a positive PCR result is now included as a criterion for confirming the disease, 5 and the network of public health laboratories has adopted a multitarget PCR strategy.…”

“…Distribution of a panel of DNA samples of B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. holmesii among national reference laboratories in 25 European countries revealed that several laboratories were unable to discriminate between DNAs from different bordetellae and that several of the assays used lacked sufficient sensitivity (159). A recent performance exercise among U.S. public health laboratories showed that 79% differentiated B. pertussis and B. holmesii and 72% identified B. parapertussis (160). In a recent study, correct Bordetella species identification was evaluated between U.S. commercial laboratories and the CDC.…”

“…Cocirculation and coinfection have been reported with no discernible difference in symptomology between etiologies (23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). It is unclear whether increased detection of B. holmesii or B. parapertussis respiratory infection results from recent genetic changes or, rather, heightened awareness and improved diagnostics (24,29,30). Nonetheless, many diagnostic PCR assays cannot differentiate B. pertussis and B. holmesii, and retrospective testing of specimens sometimes reveals misdiagnosed cases of B. holmesii (26,27,(31)(32)(33).…”
