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 ...

Francisella novicida pathogenicity island encoded proteins were secreted during infection of macrophage-like cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Intracellular pathogens and other organisms have evolved mechanisms to exploit host cells for their life cycles. Virulence genes of some intracellular bacteria responsible for these mechanisms are located in pathogenicity islands, such as secretion ...
