Bordetella bronchiseptica is a small, gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Bordetella.[1] It can cause infectious bronchitis in dogs and other animals,[2] but rarely infects humans.[3] Closely related to B. pertussis[4]—the obligate human pathogen that causes pertussis (whooping cough); B. bronchiseptica can persist in the environment for extended periods.[5]
