Regulation of Francisella Tularensis Virulence [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Francisella tularensis is one of the most virulent bacteria known and a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Category A select agent. It is able to infect a variety of animals and insects and can persist in the environment, thus Francisella spp. must be able to survive in diverse environmental niches. However, F.
