Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background:</h4> Despite high-levels of vaccination, whooping cough, primarily caused by Bordetella pertussis (BP), has persisted and resurged. It remains a major cause of infant death worldwide and is the most prevalent vaccine-preventable disease in developed countries. To date, most genomic studies have focused on a small subset of the BP genome, biasing our clinical understanding and public health awarene...
