Abstract
Species of the genus Bordetella associate with various animal hosts, frequently causing respiratory disease. Bordetella pertussis is the primary agent of whooping cough and other Bordetella species can cause similar cough illness. Here, we report four complete genome sequences from isolates of different Bordetella species recovered from human respiratory infections.

Species of the genus Bordetella associate with various animal hosts, frequently causing respiratory disease
We report four complete genome sequences from clinical isolates of B. parapertussis (H904), B. bronchiseptica (I328), B. holmesii (H903), and unclassified Bordetella sp. (H567) which were all recovered from patients with respiratory infection
Whole-genome shotgun sequencing was performed using a combination of the PacBio RSII (Pacific Biosciences, Menlo Park, CA), Illumina HiSeq/MiSeq (Illumina, San Diego, CA), and Argus (OpGen, Gaithersburg, MA) platforms as described previously [11]
Summary
Species of the genus Bordetella associate with various animal hosts, frequently causing respiratory disease. Bordetella species are associated with a variety of hosts, where they are often the etiologic agents of disease. Bordetella pertussis causes whooping cough (pertussis) but related species B. parapertussis and B. holmesii can cause similar pertussislike illness in humans [1,2,3,4,5].
