RETRACTED: Melanin Produced by Bordetella parapertussis Confers a Survival Advantage to the Bacterium during Host Infection
ABSTRACT Bordetella parapertussis causes respiratory infection in humans, with a mild pertussis (whooping cough)-like disease. The organism produces a brown pigment, the nature and biological significance of which have not been elucidated. Here, by screening a transposon library, we demonstrate that...
