In particular, the invention provides immunogenic compositions comprising nanoemulsion and a combination of Bordetella (e.g., B. pertussis) antigens that have different functions, for example, combinations including B. pertussis adherence factors (adhesins), B. pertussis toxins or B. pertussis virulence factors. Vaccines, methods of treatment, uses of and processes to make a pertussis or whooping cough vaccine are also described. Compositions and methods of the present invention find use in, among other things, clinical (e.g. therapeutic and preventative medicine (e.g., vaccination)) and research applications.

The invention relates to a biological synergic microbial agent SY-CD-B and applications thereof in coking wastewater treatment. The biological synergic microbial agent is prepared by mixing six screened bacteria that are pseudomonas sp., acinetobacter sp., bordetella sp., klebsiella sp., bacillus magterium and bacillus subtilis according to a fermentation broth volume ratio of 5-50:1-5:3-15:2-20:2-20:2-20, centrifuging and diluting the bacteria with an inorganic salt culture liquid. By utilization of the biological synergic microbial agent and by combining a mixed type active sludge system, the COD concentration of biochemical treatment effluent is reduced, and no extra equipment investment is added. The biological synergic microbial agent is suitable for biochemical treatment of coking wastewater of water of various kinds of quality, and largely reduces the treatment cost.

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a quinclorac solid degrading inoculant, and belongs to the technical field of microorganisms. The method includes the steps that 1, preparation, pH adjustment and sterilization of a medium are conducted; 2, bordetella preserved on a bevel is inoculated, and shake cultivation is carried out to obtain liquid seeds; 3, the liquid seeds are inoculated in a culture medium containing wheat bran, corn straw powder and activated carbon, and are cultured in a constant-temperature culture box in a sealed mode to obtain a target product. The organophosphorus pesticide degrading inoculant produced through the technology has the advantages of being low in product cost and environmentally friendly, and the inoculant can efficiently degrade organophosphorus pesticide residues on the surfaces of plants and in soil. Besides, physical and chemical properties and biological characters of the soil can be improved, soil fertility is improved, immunity of crops can be enhanced, intrusion of bacteria is prevented, and the inoculant particularly has a good prevention function on soil-borne diseases and the continuous cropping barrier. Thus, crop growth is promoted, the agricultural yield is increased, quality of agricultural products is improved, and production cost is reduced.

The invention relates to a strain of Bordetella sp. and the application in the preparation of cholesterol oxidase and cholest-4-ene-3-dione. The bacteria strain is Bordetella sp. B4 CGMCC No.2229, which is capable of synthesizing extracellular cholesterol oxidase and transforming cholesterol into cholest-4-ene-3-dione. The invention is characterized in short fermentation time and high enzyme production activity; the activity of extracellular enzyme can reach 2000U/L, which reaches or exceeds international leading level.

The present disclosure provides methods for determining whether a patient exhibiting pertussis-like symptoms will benefit from treatment, with therapeutic agents that inhibit Bordetella holmesii. These methods are based on detecting Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, and Bordetella holmesii in a biological sample by assaying for the presence of the IS481, IS 1001, and hIS1001 target repeat elements, respectively. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided.
