T1 - Isolation of Bordetella avium and Novel Bordetella Strain from Patients with Respiratory Disease T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2009 VL - 15 IS - 1 SP - 72 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Bordetella avium is thought to be strictly an avian pathogen. However, 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified 2 isolates from 2 humans with respiratory disease as B. avium and a novel B. avium–like strain. Thus, B. avium and B. avium–like organisms are rare opportunistic human pathogens.
