RETRACTED: Melanin Produced by Bordetella parapertussis Confers a Survival Advantage to the Bacterium during Host Infection by Yukihiro Hiramatsu, Takashi Nishida, Dendi Krisna Nugraha, Fuminori Sugihara, Yasuhiko Horiguchi

“…In an infection assay using macrophages, the hppD-deficient mutant was internalized by THP-1 macrophage-like cells, similar to the wild-type strain, but was less able to survive within the cells, indicating that melanin protects B. parapertussis from intracellular killing in macrophages. Mouse infection experiments also showed that the hppD-deficient mutant was eliminated from the respiratory tract more rapidly than the wild-type strain, although the initial colonization levels were comparable between the two strains. …”
