Conserved Patterns of Symmetric Inversion in the Genome Evolution of <italic toggle="yes">Bordetella</italic> Respiratory Pathogens

ABSTRACT Whooping cough (pertussis), primarily caused by Bordetella pertussis, has resurged in the United States, and circulating strains exhibit considerable chromosome structural fluidity in the form of rearrangement and deletion. The genus Bordetella includes additional pathogenic species infecti...
