Bordetella parapertussis detection kits

Bordetella parapertussis is a Gram-negative, aerobic coccobacillus and the causative agent for a whooping cough-like disease. Generally has a milder clinical presentation, but it is not easily distinguished from B. pertussis infection by symptoms. At first, the infected person appears to have a common cold with runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, fever, and a mild cough. More severe episodes of coughing start about 10 to 12 days later.
