The genetic means of pathogenesis of Francisella tularensis are poorly understood. F.
tularensis is able to survive and replicate within macrophages, and a virulence factor, MglA …

Francisella tularensis is a highly infectious Gram-negative bacterium causing the zoonotic
disease tularemia. This facultative intracellular pathogen multiplies in vivo mainly inside …

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

Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen that causes the
highly infectious zoonotic disease tularemia. We have discovered a ca. 30-kb pathogenicity …

Francisella tularensis is one of the most infectious bacterial pathogens known and is the
causative agent of the zoonotic disease tularemia. In spite of the importance of this pathogen …

Very little is known about virulence mechanisms of the highly virulent bacterium Francisella
tularensis. Specific genetic features of F. tularensis have been obstacles for the …

Francisella tularensis is a highly infectious, Gram-negative bacterium responsible for the
disease tularemia in a broad variety of animals, including humans. F. tularensis intracellular …

The facultative intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis causes the zoonotic disease
tularemia. F. tularensis resides within host macrophages in vivo, and this ability is essential …

Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia and Category A biodefense agent, is
