Serum resistance, or resistance to killing by antibody dependent pathway of complement, in Bordetella pertussis is bvg-regulated and the Bordetella resistance to killing (brk) locus mediates much of the resistance. Here we examined whether other bvg-regulated proteins contribute to serum resistance. We found that neither pertussis toxin, adenylate cyclase toxin, filamentous hemagglutinin, dermonecrotic toxin,...
