Abstract
<i>Bordetella bronchiseptica</i> and <i>Bordetella pertussis</i>are respiratory pathogens of humans and animals respectively. Unlike many bacteria, they are able to efficiently colonise healthy ciliated respiratory mucosa. This characteristic of <i>Bordetella spp.</i> can potentially be exploited to develop efficient live vaccines and vectors for delivery of heterologous antigens to the respiratory tract. Here we review the progress in this area.
