Genomic Plasticity in Natural Populations of Bordetella pertussis

Received 6 April 1998/Accepted 24 June 1999

We determined the genomic organization of 14 clinical strains of Bordetella pertussis isolated over an 18-month period in Alberta, Canada. The maps of these 14 strains, while demonstrating general similarity of gene order, display a number of examples of genomic rearrangements in the form of large chromosomal inversions.
