Abstract

In addition to the Gram-negative bacterium Bordetella pertussis , the etiological agent of pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis also causes respiratory infection in humans, with a mild pertussis-like disease. These bacteria are genetically closely related and share many virulence factors, including adhesins and toxins.
