Francisella recognition by inflammasomes: differences between Mice and Men
Pathogen recognition by intracellular sensors involves the assembly of a caspase-1 activation machine termed the inflammasome. Intracellular pathogens like Francisella that gain access to the cytosolic detection systems are useful tools to uncover the ...

Identification of small RNAs in Francisella tularensis [PDF]
Background: Regulation of bacterial gene expression by small RNAs (sRNAs) have proved to be important for many biological processes. Francisella tularensis is a highly pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium that causes the disease tularaemia in humans and ...

Infection of Mammalian Hepatocytes by Francisella tularensis LVS [PDF]
Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of Tularemia, is a facultative intracellular parasite. The goal of this project is to examine how F. tularensis infects and replicates within mammalian cells, and the impact of such an infection upon the ...

Nramp1 and NrampB Contribute to Resistance against Francisella in Dictyostelium
The Francisella genus comprises highly pathogenic bacteria that can cause fatal disease in their vertebrate and invertebrate hosts including humans. In general, Francisella growth depends on iron availability, hence, iron homeostasis must be tightly ...
