Evidence for a Role of the Polysaccharide Capsule Transport Proteins in Pertussis Pathogenesis

Polysaccharide (PS) capsules are important virulence determinants for many bacterial pathogens. Bordetella pertussis, the agent of whooping cough, produces a surface associated microcapsule but its role in pertussis pathogenesis remained unknown. Here we showed that the B. pertussis capsule locus is...
