We evaluated the performances of 4 commercial real-time PCR kits for Bordetella
pertussis
IS481 sequence detection in nasopharyngeal aspirates by comparison with an in-house real-time PCR assay. Among them, the Simplexa Bordetella
pertussis
/parapertussis assay (Focus Diagnostics), the SmartCycler Bordetella
pertussis
/parapertussis assay (Cepheid), and Bordetella
R-gene
(Argene) present sensitivities over 90%. One kit proved unsuitable for routine clinical use.
