“…Seven isolates representative of 5 of the 15 clusters were serotyped. All serotyped as 1,3,6 in agreement with the currently observed serotype patterns of B. pertussis in the United States and other parts of the world (2,6,14,25,29,30,32).…”

An outbreak of bacteriologically proven pertussis occurred in Austin and Travis County, Texas, over a 7-month period in 1975. Eighty persons were cultured for pertussis in our laboratory. A total of 62% of specimens from 34 individuals with suspected pertussis was positive for Bordetella pertussis. Diagnosis of acute cases by both culture and fluorescent antibody was attempted, and the correlation of the methods is given. Analyses of cases by age, sex, immunization status, and antibiotic treatment prior to culture are included in this report. Two asymptomatic, culture-positive adults were found.

SUMMARYClassification, by agglutinogens, of 634 isolates ofBordetella pertussiscollected from 1941 to 1968 in Great Britain demonstrated that a change from a predominantly 1,2,0,4 serotype (75% of those examined during 1941–4) to a predominantly 1,0,3,0 serotype (73% of those examined during 1966–8) occurred sometime after 1953. Furthermore, evidence from the examination of isolates collected between 1941 and 1953 suggests that the change may have been gradual. Isolates of serotype 1,2,3,4 made up 20–30% of the total of our cross-country selection for the periods 1941–4, 1946–9, 1950–3 and 1966–8, but over shorter periods in individual areas the percentage varied from negligible to as high as half of those isolated. Results from other countries show a similar drift towards a 1,0,3 serotype but more often from a 1,2,3 than from 1,2,0 serotype.The value, in epidemiological studies, of extended information obtained by monospecific typing sera to all six, rather than only two or three agglutinogens, and confirmation of the results by agglutinin production is demonstrated: for instance not all 1,0,3 isolates were identical.

SUMMARYIn many countries, the prevalent serotypes ofBordetella pertussishave changed from a mixture of types 1,2,3 and 1,2 (organisms possessing antigen 2) to a predominance of type 1,3. The timing of the change in different countries is shown to be related to the introduction of mass-vaccination with material rich in antigens 1 and 2 but weak in, or devoid of, antigen 3. In several parts of the world, there have been outbreaks of type 1,3 infection in fully vaccinated children.Non-vaccinated communities in various parts of the world still show the pattern of serotypes which existed elsewhere before mass-vaccination.In order to avoid the disappointments experienced in the past, it is essential that pertussis vaccine for use in previously non-vaccinated communities, like that for any other country, should be rich in each of the three antigens.
