The outer-membrane protein pertactin (Prn) of Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica is believed to function as an adhesin and is an important immunogen. The emergence of B. pertussis and B. bronchiseptica Prn variants has been reported. The aim of this study was to determine whether similar variation is found in B. parapertussis Prn and to characterize Finnish clinical B. parapertussis isolates that were collected in 1982-2000. Of 76 B. parapertussis isolates studied, seven (9 %) were found to have silent and non-silent nucleotide changes. In addition, one (1 %) had eight PQP repeats instead of nine. Three closely related B. parapertussis XbaI PFGE patterns were found. Genetic variation of B. parapertussis was found to be very limited, suggesting that B. parapertussis is a stable organism that is well-adapted to its own ecological niche.
