 HealthGene - Bordetella bronchiseptica
Bordetella bronchiseptica is an aerobic, gram-negative coccobacillus that is a well-known respiratory pathogen in dogs, swine and rodents.
The majority of Bordetella bronchiseptica isolations were originally associated with cases of bronchopneumonia in laboratory-kept cats, often housed under overcrowded conditions, whose virologic status was unclear.
In experimental studies in cats in which Bordetella bronchiseptica is known to be the sole pathogen, the main clinical signs are pyrexia, sneezing, nasal discharge, submandibular lymphadenomegaly, and rales on auscultation.

Bordetella pertussis is a small (approximately 0.8 µm by 0.4 µm), rod-shaped, coccoid, or ovoid Gram-negative bacterium that is encapsulated and does not produce spores.
Bordetella pertussis organisms grown under such conditions are avirulent and are characterized by the loss of the capacity to synthesize the numerous toxic factors and other structural components.
Bordetella pertussis usually grows after 3 to 4 days of incubation at 37° C. The small, transparent colonies are indistinguishable from those of B bronchiseptica, but usually are smaller than those of B parapertussis.

bronchiseptica is common.  In selecting cats suitable for their study, Jacobs et al.
bronchiseptica, oropharyngeal and/or nasal swabs are needed for bacterial culture.  Transtracheal washes have also been used.  Isolation of the organism is commonly successful if the cat is showing clinical signs.  Carrier cats, on the other hand, are more difficult to diagnose, because the organism is shed only intermittently. 
bronchiseptica is also being found.  A focus has been made on the prevention of Bordetellosis.  Recently an intranasal vaccine for cats has been developed and licensed.  However, there is still much research to be done to better understand this disease, its etiology and prevalence.

Kennel cough is most commonly associated with a bacterial infection caused by the organism Bordetella bronchiseptica.

The infection tends to be mild except for a very harsh cough that often prompts owners to think that their dog "has something caught in his throat".

BACKGROUND: Bordetella bronchiseptica is a pleomorphic gram negative coccobacillus which is a common cause of respiratory tract infections in dogs and may also infect cats.
CD4 count at the time of diagnosis ranged from 1-207 (median, 15 cells/microliter); 7 patients recovered from the illness during which B. bronchiseptica infection was diagnosed, and 2 died during the illness.
CONCLUSIONS: Bordetella bronchiseptica in HIV infected persons may cause a range of illness from mild to severe sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
