Whole genome sequencing of various Bordetella species

This project is an effort by the Pertussis and Diphtheria Laboratory at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to characterize genomes of Bordetella species other than B. pertussis. Members of the genus Bordetella cause respiratory and opportunistic infection in a variety of hosts. These data are being made available to facilitate comparative analyses for the study of this important group of bacterial pathogens.
