Background

Bordetella pertussis is an obligate human pathogen and is the causative agent of whooping cough (pertussis). Bordetella parapertussis causes a milder form of disease in humans and also causes respiratory infections in sheep. Bordetella bronchiseptica causes disease in many mammalian species, but humans, however, are rarely infected with this organism and typically involve immunocompromised patients.
