Sharp rise in high-virulence Bordetella pertussis with macrolides resistance in Northern China
These results suggested the clonal spread of the <i>ptxP3</i>-ERBP lineage of <i>B. pertussis</i> with high virulence and macrolides resistance could be an important cause of the recent pertussis resurgence in China. Furthermore, the increased cases among pre-school and school-aged children underscore the importance of booster vaccination in this population.
