Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 4 Bordetella pertussis isolates which correspond to major clones isolated between 2008 and 2014 from two outbreaks in northeastern Mexico. The B. pertussis clinical isolates belong to the ptxP3 lineage, and they are grouped into two major clusters, defined by the fimH allele.
