Genetic Analysis of Bordetella pertussis Isolates from the 2008–2010 Pertussis Epidemic in Japan

A large pertussis epidemic occurred between 2008 and 2010 in Japan. To investigate epidemic strains, we analyzed 33 Bordetella pertussis isolates from the epidemic period by sequencing virulence-associated genes (fim3, ptxP, ptxA, and prn) and performing multilocus variable-number tandem repeat anal...
