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 ...

Landscape wetness and beaver wetlands enhance environmental prevalence of Francisella spp.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Identifying the contributions of biotic and abiotic factors in pathogen transmission is essential to mitigate vector‐borne and zoonotic disease risk. Francisella tularensis is the etiological agent of the infectious disease tularemia in wildlife and humans. Environmental factors driving transmission in wildlife, including the role of hares and

Monocyte / macrophage inflammatory response pathways to combat Francisella infection: possible therapeutic targets?

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
Francisella tularensis can bypass and suppress host immune responses, even to the point of manipulating immune cell phenotypes and intercellular inflammatory networks. Strengthening these responses such that immune cells more readily identify and destroy

Genome‐Wide In Silico Analysis of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) Within the Morganella Genus

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
▪ Species‐specific T6SS patterns among Morganella genus (M. morganii and M. sibonii). ▪ Only one‐third of M. morganii isolates haboured a T6SS. ▪ All M. sibonii possess four T6SS clusters. ▪ M. sibonii exhibited a wide diversity of effectors compared to M. morganii.

Outer membrane tube formation by Francisella novicida involves extensive envelope modifications and is linked with type VI secretion and alterations to the host phagosomal membrane

mBio
Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative, intracellular pathogen that causes the zoonotic disease tularemia. Due to its ease of dissemination and high lethality, F.

Nonclassical MHC‐I Molecules: Emerging Therapeutic Targets in Next‐Generation Immunotherapy

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Immunotherapies dependent on classical MHC‐I molecules face significant challenges, including extreme polymorphism and frequent downregulation in pathological conditions. This review discusses how nonclassical MHC‐I molecules (HLA‐E, HLA‐F, HLA‐G, CD1, MR1) may potentially circumvent these limitations through restricted genetic diversity, stable ...

Genomic characterization of Francisella tularensis and other diverse Francisella species from complex samples

, 2022
Francisella tularensis, the bacterium that causes the zoonosis tularemia, and its genetic near neighbor species, can be difficult or impossible to cultivate from complex samples.
