2025-07-16
Abstract excerpt
The resurgence of whooping cough in regions utilizing acellular pertussis vaccines underscopes emerging public health challenges. Here, we characterized 178 Bordetella pertussis isolates collected from patients across all age groups in Shanghai (2018-2024) to assess genomic evolution and antibiotic susceptibility. Macrolide resistance to erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin and clindamycin escalated from ≤5...
