Francisella and Antibodies [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Immune responses to intracellular pathogens depend largely upon the activation of T helper type 1-dependent mechanisms. The contribution of B cells to establishing protective immunity has long been underestimated.

Comparative Transcriptional Analyses of Francisella tularensis and Francisella novicida. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Francisella tularensis is composed of a number of subspecies with varied geographic distribution, host ranges, and virulence. In view of these marked differences, comparative functional genomics may elucidate some of the molecular mechanism(s) behind ...

First case of Francisella bacteraemia in Western Australia
New Microbes and New Infections, 2015 Francisella species are Gram-negative, nonmotile, pleomorphic coccobacilli, facultative intracellular fastidious bacteria. We report the isolation of a Francisella-like species from a blood culture collected from a 44-year-old bacteraemic patient in ...

Azithromycin effectiveness against intracellular infections of
BMC Microbiology, 2010 Background Macrolide antibiotics are commonly administered for bacterial respiratory illnesses. Azithromycin (Az) is especially noted for extremely high intracellular concentrations achieved within macrophages which is far greater than the serum ...

Characterization of carABpyrB operon and role of pyrE in Francisella novicida biofilm. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenPyrimidine biosynthesis links metabolism to biofilm regulation in Francisella novicida. During nutrient limitation, reduced pyrimidine availability shifts metabolism from uracil salvage to de novo synthesis, increasing biofilm formation. Mutants in carABpyrB exhibit uracil‐dependent growth defects and elevated biofilm:growth ratios, revealing ...
