Comparative Genomics of Bordetella pertussis Reveals Progressive Gene Loss in Finnish Strains

18 Sept 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bordetella pertussis is a gram-negative bacterium that infects the human respiratory tract and causes pertussis or whooping cough. The disease has resurged in many countries including Finland where the whole-cell pertussis vaccine has been used for more than 50 years. Antigenic divergence has been observed between vaccine strains and clinical isolates in Finland. To better understand genome evolution...
