This bacterium is a causative agent of whooping cough disease or Pertussis. It causes the disease by infecting human respiratory system.
The typical treatment for bordatella pertussis are the macrolides, such as azithromycin and erythromycin.
Human beings are the only host for B. pertussi. This is the bacteria which causes pertussis otherwise known as whooping cough.
Most living things that are found in the air are microscopic bacteria. Examples of these are: Bordetella pertussis, Neisseria, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
SOD converts the dangerous superoxide radical to hydrogen peroxide, which catalase converts to harmless water and oxygen. Catalases are some of the most efficient enzymes found in cells; each catalase molecule can convert millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules every second.
yes
The causative organism is Bordetella pertussis.
Most of the time, a bacteria called bordetella pertussis is inhaled, colonizes your lungs and then you get the characteristic whooping cough.

No, it is not caused by a virus. It is a bacterial infection cased by Bordetella Pertussis and gives rise to bouts of coughing spell.No, the disease commonly known as whooping cough is caused by Bordetella Pertussis, a type of bacteria. This is not a viral illness.
The first outbreaks of Bordetella Pertussis were described in the 16th century. Bordetella Pertussis was not identified until 1906. There were over 250,000 cases of Bordetella Pertussis per year in the U.S., with up to 9,000 deaths. Bordetella Pertussis was first recognized after an epidemic in Paris in 1578. By 1976, the incidence of Bordetella Pertussis in the U.S. had decreased by 99%. Jules Bordet (1870-1960) along with Octave Gengou discovered Bordetella Pertussis in pure culture in 1906 as the actual cause of Whooping Cough.
