The AIM2 inflammasome is critical for innate immunity to Francisella tularensis. [PDF]

, 2010
Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, infects host macrophages, which triggers production of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-18. We elucidate here how host macrophages recognize F.

Francisella induced microparticulate caspase-1/gasdermin-D activation is regulated by NLRP3 independent of Pyrin.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Although the study of pathogen sensing by host defense systems continues to uncover a role for inflammasome components specific to particular pathogens, gaps remain in our knowledge.

Co-Occurrence of Francisella, Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia, and Midichloria in Avian-Associated Hyalomma rufipes

Microorganisms, 2022
The migratory behavior of wild birds contributes to the geographical spread of ticks and their microorganisms. In this study, we aimed to investigate the dispersal and co-occurrence of Francisella and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) in ticks ...

Enhanced survival but not amplification of Francisella spp. in the presence of free-living amoebae [PDF]

, 2016
Transmission of Francisella tularensis, the etiologic agent of tularemia, has been associated with various water sources. Survival of many waterborne pathogens within free-living amoeba (FLA) is well documented; however, the role of amoebae in the ...

Construction of a New Phage Integration Vector pFIV-Val for Use in Different Francisella Species

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
We recently identified and described a putative prophage on the genomic island FhaGI-1 located within the genome of Francisella hispaniensis AS02-814 (F. tularensis subsp. novicida-like 3523).

Francisella-like endosymbiont in Dermacentor reticulatus collected in Portugal [PDF]

, 2011
In Portugal, recent studies have confirmed the presence of Francisella tularensis in Dermacentor reticulatus. Bacterial endosymbionts with significant homology to F. tularensis have been described in several species of ticks.

Chemical Synthesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii Capsular Polysaccharide Fragments as Leads for Cross‐Protection

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 6, 2 February 2026.
A total of 16 chemically synthesized capsular polysaccharide (CPS) fragments related to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii were analyzed by glycan microarray. Comparative screening revealed three conserved epitopes that act as cross‐protective vaccine lead candidates against multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacterial ...
