Emergence of <i>Bordetella holmesii</i>–Associated Pertussis-Like Illness, Northern India, 2019–2023
We investigated Bordetella holmesii and Bordetella pertussis in 935 suspected pertussis cases in northern India (2019-2023) using PCR and serology. B. holmesii showed increased prevalence in pertussis cases, particularly in older children, highlighting its emerging role and the need for ongoing surveillance and adjusted prevention strategies.
