description Relevance. Whooping cough remains a pressing public health problem worldwide, including in countries with high vaccination rates. One of the probable causes of the ongoing epidemic process of pertussis infection is B. pertussis biofilms, which differ from plankton cultures by an altered gene expression spectrum and are highly resistant to environmental conditions, antibiotics, and immune factors.Aims. Analysis of literature data on the genetic and molecular - cellular mechanisms of biofilm formation by bacteria of the genus Bordetella, as well as approaches to the search for means aimed at suppressing the growth of biofilms and the destruction of formed biofilms in the macroorganism.Conclusions. Biofilm formation by microbes of the genus Bordetella is a complex multistage process regulated by genetic signaling systems: the Bvg AS system and the 2-nucleotide (p) ppGrp system, as well as other regulatory proteins and the polysaccharide complex. The matrix of B. pertussis biofilms consists of extracellular DNA, proteins, and a polysaccharide polymer that play an important role in the formation of biofilms in the respiratory tract and on abiotic surfaces. The genetic and molecular-cellular processes of biofilm formation and maintenance, as well as the various components of the biofilm matrix, can serve as targets for new antimicrobial drugs and more effective pertussis vaccines that will better control the entire pertussis infection cycle, including colonization, persistence, and transmission of the causative agent. One of the approaches to the development of new-generation cell-free pertussis vaccines is the identification of new biofilm-associated antigens that can induce effective cellular and humoral responses. The search for drugs that can destroy biofilms, including substances that affect the matrix and facilitate the access of antibacterial drugs to microbial cells, is promising.
