Whole-Genome Analysis of Bordetella pertussis MT27 Isolates from School-Associated Outbreaks: Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Diversity and Threshold of the Outbreak Strains

Whole-Genome Analysis of Bordetella pertussis MT27 Isolates from School-Associated Outbreaks: Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Diversity and Threshold of the Outbreak Strains

ABSTRACT Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, can cause pertussis outbreaks in humans, especially in school-aged children. Here, we performed whole-genome sequencing of 51 B. pertussis isolates (epidemic strain MT27) collected from patients infected during 6 school-associated...
