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 ...

Comparison of Francisella tularensis genomes reveals evolutionary events associated with the emergence of human pathogenic strains [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Francisella tularensis subspecies tularensis and holarctica are pathogenic to humans, whereas the two other subspecies, novicida and mediasiatica, rarely cause disease. To uncover the factors that allow subspecies tularensis and holarctica to

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

Non-vaccinal prophylaxis of tularemia

Frontiers in Microbiology
Tularemia is a re-emerging zoonosis in many endemic countries. It is caused by Francisella tularensis, a gram-negative bacterium and biological threat agent.

CRISPR/Cas Genome Editing and Its Applications in Cereal Crop Improvement

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT CRISPR/Cas‐based genome editing has emerged as a transformative tool for precise genetic improvement of cereal crops. Recent advances in CRISPR technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, Cas13, base editing, and prime editing, have enabled targeted modification of genes and regulatory elements controlling yield, stress tolerance, and grain ...

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.

Type VI secretion: a beginner's guide [PDF]

, 2008
Type VI secretion is a newly described mechanism for protein transport across the cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria. Components that have been partially characterised include an IcmF homologue, the ATPase ClpV, a regulatory FHA domain protein and ...

Genome characterisation of the genus Francisella reveals insight into similar evolutionary paths in pathogens of mammals and fish

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Prior to this study, relatively few strains of Francisella had been genome-sequenced. Previously published Francisella genome sequences were largely restricted to the zoonotic agent F. tularensis.
