Highlights

• Bordetella hinzii is a symbiotic respiratory microbe found in poultry and is increasingly recognized as an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised humans.

• This study revealed that the VITEK 2 microbial identification system was unable to distinguish B. hinzii from Alcaligenes denitrificans subsp. xylosoxidans. MALDI-TOF MS and whole genome sequencing might provide more accurate diagnosis of B. hinzii strains.

• B. hinzii is an emerging zoonotic pathogen that is resistant to multiple antibiotics. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of human infection by this emerging pathogen.

Abstract

As well known, the species of Bordetella, such as Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are prevalent respiratory tract pathogens. Bordetella hinzii, another species of Bordetella genus, Bordetella hinzii could cause meningitis, bacteremia, lung disease, endocarditis, chronic cholangitis and soft tissue abscess. In this study, we reported a new case of Bordetella hinzii infection in Asia with the clinical presentation and laboratory diagnosis. This study systematically analyzed the etiological characteristics of the pathogen using Vitek 2, MALDI-TOF MS, drug susceptibility testing, and whole-genome sequencing, aiming to provide a valuable reference for the diagnosis and treatment of Bordetella hinzii infection.
