title: Draft Genome Sequence of a Bordetella pertussis Strain with the Virulence-Associated Allelic Variant ptxP3, Isolated in Italy.
abstract: Despite a universal immunization program, pertussis has persisted and resurged, and is of particular concern for infants in terms of morbidity and mortality. Here, we report the genome sequence of a Bordetella pertussis strain with the virulence-associated allelic variant ptxP3, isolated from a 45-day-old infant.
