Rombencephalitis Caused by Francisella tularensis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT Common presentations of tularemia include pneumonia and ulceroglandular, oropharyngeal, or typhoidal disease. Neuromeningeal involvement is extremely rare. We report a case of a severe rhombencephalitis due to Francisella tularensis .

The type IV pili component PilO is a virulence determinant of Francisella novicida

, 2022
Francisella tularensis is a highly pathogenic intracellular bacterium that causes the disease tularemia. While its ability to replicate within cells has been studied in much detail, the bacterium also encodes a less characterised type 4 pili (T4P) system.

Metabolic plasticity of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica (wild type), Francisella novicida and Francisella sp. strain W12-1067 [PDF]

, 2022
Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes a potentially fatal disease called tularemia. The highly infectious agent can spread via arthropod vectors, including ticks, and via rodents such as rabbits or beavers.

The biosynthetic pathway of ubiquinone contributes to pathogenicity of Francisella Running title: Ubiquinone and Francisella pathogenicity

, 2021
International audienceFrancisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia. Because of its extreme infectivity and high mortality rate, this pathogen was classified as a biothreat agent.

Tularemia treatment: experimental and clinical data

Frontiers in Microbiology
Tularemia is a zoonosis caused by the Gram negative, facultative intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis. This disease has multiple clinical presentations according to the route of infection, the virulence of the infecting bacterial strain, and ...

A genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system enables efficient genetic engineering in Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
We developed a genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system for Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8, which enables precise deletion or replacement of DNA fragments ranging from 379 to 45,168 bp, with a success rate exceeding 90%. Application of this tool for the dynamic regulation of fabclavine‐8 biosynthesis resulted in a 1.90‐fold increase in production ...

First European report of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica isolation from a domestic cat [PDF]

, 2020
Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica is a select agent causing life-threatening tularemia. It has been isolated from humans and animals, mainly lagomorphs and rodents, rarely other wild carnivore species.

Presence of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica DNA in the Aquatic Environment in France

Microorganisms, 2021
In 2018, the incidence of tularemia increased twofold in the west of France, with many pneumonic forms, suggesting environmental sources of infection. We investigated the presence of Francisellatularensis subsp.

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted
