    MICROBIOLOGY

    • Bordetella are small, aerobic Gram negative coccobacilli.
    • Organisms are fastidious, need special media (such as charcoal blood agar with cephalexin, Regan Lowe or Bordet-Gengou media) for isolation.

      • B. pertussis: most common etiology of whooping cough and exclusively a human pathogen.
      • B. parapertussis: leads to less severe but similar symptoms.
