Vaccination is an effective means of preventing pertussis infection. The purpose of this work was to improve vaccines available in the Russian Federation in general and actualize vaccine strains used for the production thereof in particular. We studied B. pertussis strains isolated in Moscow, Voronezh, Novosibirsk, Ulyanovsk and Chelyabinsk regions, and eight production strains part of the adsorbed diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DPT) vaccine. Multilocus antigenic sequence typing (MAST) and whole genome multilocus sequence typing (wgMLST) were used for genotyping. We studied cultural morphological, enzymatic, serological, and genotypic properties of the candidate B. pertussis strains, and compared their genotypic properties to those of B. pertussis vaccine strains from the current composition of the DPT vaccine. Candidate strains belong to four genotypes: ptxА1/ptxВ2/ptxС2/ptxР3/fim2-2/fim3-2/prn2, ptxА1/ptxВ2/ptxС2/ptxР3/fim2-2/fim3-2/prn9, ptxА1/ptxВ2/ptxС2/ptxР3/fim2-1/fim3-1/prn1 and ptxА1/ptxВ2/ptxС2/ptxР3/fim2-2/fim3-1/prn2. Current vaccine strains were from other six genotypes: ptxА2/ptxВ1/ptxС1/ptxР1/fim2-1/fim3-1/prn1, ptxА2/ptxВ2/ptxС1/ptxР2/fim2-1/fim3-1/prn1, ptxА4/ptxВ1/ptxС1/ptxР2/fim2-1/fim3-1/prn1, ptxА2/ptxВ2/ptxС1/ptxР1/fim2-1/fim3-1/prn1, ptxА4/ptxВ2/ptxС1/ptxР2/fim2-1/fim3-1/prn1 and ptxА1/ptxВ2/ptxС1/ptxР1/fim2-1/fim3-1/prn1. With the help of wgMLST, we established affiliation of all candidate strains of B. pertussis to ST2.
