Development of a Real-Time PCR Assay for the Detection of Francisella spp. and the Identification of F. tularensis subsp. mediasiatica

Microorganisms
Tularemia is an acute infectious disease classified as a natural focal infection, requiring continuous monitoring of both human and animal morbidity, as well as tracking of pathogen circulation in natural reservoirs and vectors.

Francisella tularensis ssp. holarctica in Ringtail Possums, Australia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
The occurrence of Francisella tularensis outside of endemic areas, such as North America and Eurasia, has been enigmatic. We report the metagenomic discovery and isolation of F. tularensis ssp. holarctica biovar japonica from diseased ringtail possums in

Francisella tularensisin the United States

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
The causative agent of tularemia, Francisella tularensis, is a formidable biologic agent that occurs naturally throughout North America. We examined genetic and spatial diversity patterns among 161 US F. tularensis isolates by using a 24-marker multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) system.

Host-pathogen o-methyltransferase similarity and its specific presence in highly virulent strains of Francisella tularensis suggests molecular mimicry.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Whole genome comparative studies of many bacterial pathogens have shown an overall high similarity of gene content (>95%) between phylogenetically distinct subspecies.

Evolution of subspecies of Francisella tularensis

, 2005
Analysis of unidirectional genomic deletion events and single nucleotide variations suggested that the four subspecies of Francisella tularensis have evolved by vertical descent. The analysis indicated an evolutionary scenario where the highly virulent F.

Complete genome and plasmid sequence, and chemotaxonomic analysis of Francisella sp. strain W12-1067, now designated as Allofrancisella heilbronnii

BMC Microbiology
Background The zoonotic pathogen Francisella tularensis is the etiological agent of tularemia. Tularemia in humans is mainly caused by F. tularensis subspecies tularensis and holarctica, but beneath some opportunistic Francisella species, like F ...

The immune response to Francisella tularensis

Frontiers in Microbiology
Francisella tularensis (Ft) is a Gram negative intracellular bacterial pathogen, commonly transmitted via arthropod bites, but is most lethal when contracted via inhalation. The nature of a Gram-negative intracellular pathogen presents unique challenges to the mammalian immune response, unlike more common viral pathogens and extracellular bacterial ...
