A Bordetella pertussis strain lacking 2 acellular vaccine immunogens, pertussis toxin and
pertactin, was isolated from an unvaccinated infant in New York State in 2013. Comparison
with a French strain that was pertussis toxin–deficient, pertactin wild-type showed that the
strains carry the same 28-kb deletion in similar genomes.
Abstract
A Bordetella pertussis strain lacking 2 acellular vaccine immunogens, pertussis toxin and pertactin, was isolated from an unvaccinated infant in New York State in 2013. Comparison with a French strain that was pertussis toxin–deficient, pertactin wild-type showed that the strains carry the same 28-kb deletion in similar genomes.
