Abstract

We report the emergence of macrolide-resistant Bordetella pertussis during a pertussis outbreak in Peru. Among 68 cases, 31% carried the A2047G gene mutation, conferring resistance to macrolides. Whole-genome sequencing revealed 2 genetically distinct groups, indicating multiple introductions into Peru. Our findings support strengthening surveillance for macrolide-resistant pertussis to inform control strategies.
