Genetic organization of the type III regulation btr and secretion bsc loci in different Bordetella species. The genetic organization of btr-bsc loci of B. pertussis Tohama I (NC_002929.2, btr BP2226—BP2234, bsc BP2235—BP2265) and bsc-btr loci of B. bronchiseptica RB50 (NC_002927.3, bsc BB1608-BB1637, btr BB1638-BB1646), B. parapertussisOV Bpp5 (NC_018828.1, bsc BPP5_1370-BPP5_1399, btr BPP5_1400-BPP5_1408), B. parapertussisHU 12822 (NC_002928.3, bsc BPP2211-BPP2240, btr BPP2241-BPP2249) and B. ansorpii NCTC13364 (FKBS01000014.1, contig: ERS088257SCcontig000014, bsc SAMEA1982600_01974-SAMEA1982600_02005, btr SAMEA1982600_02006-SAMEA1982600_02014) is shown. The genes of btr and bsc loci are depicted in blue and green, respectively. The putative pseudogenes BPP2215 and BPP2241 in bsc-btr loci of B. parapertussisHU 12822 are highlighted in yellow (Parkhill et al., 2003) whereas the Bsp22 tip filament protein gene in bsc loci of classical bordetellae and 3 orfs that replaced this gene in B. ansorpii are highlighted in red. Arrows indicate the direction of transcription.
