- Title
The Bordetellae: lessons from genomics.
- Authors
Preston, Andrew; Parkhill, Julian; Maskell, Duncan J.
- Abstract
Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica are very closely related, but have different host ranges and cause different diseases in their hosts. The Bordetella genome project, which sequenced the genomes of representative strains of these three important pathogens concurrently, has recently been completed. This comparative genomics resource will be of immense value to researchers investigating the basis of host specificity and speciation in bacteria. Here, we draw together key aspects of Bordetella biology and highlight the new findings that have been uncovered by this project.
