Abstract
Bordetella pertussis 18323 produces a bvg-regulated 39.1-kDa porin-lik e protein, OmpQ. OmpQ had 61% similarity to the major porin of B. pert ussis and contains conserved regions common to both the neisserial and enteric porin families. The results of Southern blot analysis indicat e that strains of Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchisepti ca but not Bordetella avium contain this gene.
