Acid Resistance in Francisella tularensis [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2014 AbstractFrancisella tularensis, the etiologic agent of tularemia, can survive under acidic conditions. Tularemia can be acquired by several routes, including by ingestion of contaminated food or water. While acid resistance is usually associated with a low oral infective dose (ID), the ID for gastrointestinal illness is quite high.
