The complete genome sequence of Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia
Francisella tularensis is one of the most infectious human pathogens known. In the past, both the former Soviet Union and the US had programs to develop weapons containing the bacterium. We report… Expand

Worldwide genetic relationships among Francisella tularensis isolates determined by multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis.
The intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia and poses a serious threat as an agent of bioterrorism. We have developed a highly effective molecular subtyping… Expand

Survival and Growth of Francisella tularensis in Acanthamoeba castellanii
ABSTRACT Francisella tularensis is a highly infectious, facultative intracellular bacterium which causes epidemics of tularemia in both humans and mammals at regular intervals. The natural reservoir… Expand

Comparison of Francisella tularensis genomes reveals evolutionary events associated with the emergence of human pathogenic strains
BackgroundFrancisella tularensis subspecies tularensis and holarctica are pathogenic to humans, whereas the two other subspecies, novicida and mediasiatica, rarely cause disease. To uncover the… Expand

A Mutant of Francisella tularensis Strain SCHU S4 Lacking the Ability To Express a 58-Kilodalton Protein Is Attenuated for Virulence and Is an Effective Live Vaccine
ABSTRACT Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis (type A) strain SCHU S4 is a prototypic strain of the pathogen that is highly virulent for humans and other mammals. Its intradermal (i.d.) 50%… Expand

Evolution of subspecies of Francisella tularensis.
Analysis of unidirectional genomic deletion events and single nucleotide variations suggested that the four subspecies of Francisella tularensis have evolved by vertical descent. The analysis… Expand

Analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA sequences of Francisella strains and utilization for determination of the phylogeny of the genus and for identification of strains by PCR.
The 16S ribosomal DNAs (rDNAs) of two strains of Francisella tularensis and one strain of Francisella philomiragia were sequenced. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis data, the genus Francisella… Expand

Lack of In Vitro and In Vivo Recognition of Francisella tularensis Subspecies Lipopolysaccharide by Toll-Like Receptors
ABSTRACT Francisella tularensis is an intracellular gram-negative bacterium that is highly infectious and potentially lethal. Several subspecies exist of varying pathogenicity. Infection by only a… Expand

Comparative Genomic Characterization of Francisella tularensis Strains Belonging to Low and High Virulence Subspecies
Tularemia is a geographically widespread, severely debilitating, and occasionally lethal disease in humans. It is caused by infection by a gram-negative bacterium, Francisella tularensis. In order to… Expand
