Abstract

A genetically attenuated Bordetella pertussis strain includes a mutated pertussis toxin (ptx) gene, and a heterologous ampG gene, and a hybrid protein including the N-terminal fragment of filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA) and a heterologous epitope or antigenic protein or protein fragment, different from FHA. The strain can be used in an attenuated vaccine for the treatment or prophylaxis of an infectious disease.
