Clinical symptoms of pertussis in baboons exposed to B1917-GFP (n = 3). Nasopharyngeal B. pertussis colonization (A) was estimated by swab plating on Bordet Gengou blood agar plates. Paroxysmal cough episodes per hour (B), circulating white blood cells (C) and lymphocytes numbers (D) were also analyzed over time. A comparison with paired t-test analysis of leukocytes and lymphocytes counts before challenge and at the peak of infection was also performed (E,F).
