Tularemia is primarily caused by two subspecies of Francisella tularensis worldwide, ssp.
tularensis (type A) and ssp. holarctica (type B), which were originally delineated by …

Francisella tularensis is a facultative, intracellular, zoonotic pathogen and the causative
agent of tularemia. Historically, F. tularensis has been subdivided into subspecies on the …

Tularemia is a disease caused by several subspecies of Francisella tularensis, although the
severity of the disease varies greatly from subspecies to subspecies. Currently, there are …

Francisella tularensis subspecies tularensis (type A) and holarctica (type B) are of clinical
importance in causing tularemia. Molecular typing methods have further separated type A …
