Cytochrome oxidase requirements in Bordetella reveal insights into evolution towards life in the mammalian respiratory tract

L. S. McKay, A. R. Spandrio, R. M. Johnson, M. A. Sobran, S. Marlatt, K. B. Mote, M. R. Dedloff, Z. M. Nash, S. M. Julio, P. A. Cotter

This study investigates the role of cytochrome oxidases in Bordetella species, finding that three specific oxidases are sufficient for respiratory infection in mice.
