Previously, isolated reports of B holmesii infection in patients with whooping cough–type symptoms had been described. But the data from the Ohio outbreak are the first to assess the incidence of B holmesii infections in a whooping cough outbreak, explained Loren Rodgers, PhD, an officer with the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service, who presented the data. In that outbreak, which affected about 900 individuals, testing confirmed that although most cases were caused by B pertussis, about a third were linked to B holmesii, and a few individuals were infected with both microbes.
