Prevalence and Genetic Characterization of Pertactin-Deficient Bordetella pertussis in Japan
The adhesin pertactin (Prn) is one of the major virulence factors of Bordetella pertussis, the etiological agent of whooping cough. However, a significant prevalence of Prn-deficient (Prn(−)) B. pertussis was observed in Japan. The Prn(−) isolate was first discovered in 1997, and 33 (27%) Prn(−) iso...
