This procedure provides instructions for how to perform qualitative PCR (qPCR) for the detection of the hIS1001 insertion sequence of Bordetella holmesii and the bfrZ gene of Bordetella bronchiseptica from appropriate direct specimens. This test is intended to be used as a secondary assay to differentiate B. pertussis (IS481 positive) from B. holmesii.
