Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of the acute disease tularemia. Due to its
extreme infectivity and ability to cause disease upon inhalation, F. tularensis has been …

Francisella tularensis is a zoonotic intracellular pathogen and the causative agent of the
debilitating febrile illness tularemia. Although natural infections by F. tularensis are sporadic …

Francisella tularensis subverts the immune system to rapidly grow within mammalian hosts,
often causing tularemia, a fatal disease. This pathogen targets the cytosol of macrophages …

Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is one of the most infectious
bacterial pathogens known and is a category A select agent. We created a sequence …

Francisella spp. are highly infectious and virulent bacteria that cause the zoonotic disease
tularemia. Knowledge is lacking for the virulence factors expressed by Francisella and how …

The Francisella pathogenicity island (FPI) is a cluster of 16–19 genes, which is found
duplicated in most of the Francisella genomes that have been sequenced. Although 16 FPI …

The highly infectious bacterium Francisella tularensis is a facultative intracellular pathogen,
whose virulence requires proliferation inside host cells, including macrophages. Here we …

Francisella tularensis is a facultative intracellular gram-negative pathogen and the
etiological agent of the zoonotic disease tularemia. Recent advances in the field of …

Francisella tularensis has been recognized as the causative agent of tularaemia for almost a
century. Since its discovery in 1911, it has been shown to infect a wide range of hosts …

Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative pathogen that causes life-threatening infections in
humans and has potential for use as a biological weapon. The genetic basis of the F …
