Immunobiological Properties of Francisella tularensis 15/10 Strain with Deleted recA Gene
Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2011 Deletion of recA gene in Francisella tularensis 15/10 genome leads to the increase in its sensitivity to ultraviolet irradiation, reduction of the homologous recombination capacity, and a slight decline of virulence for mice.

Francisella tularensis,Portugal
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 To the Editor: Tularemia is a zoonosis caused by Francisella tularensis. Recently, tularemia has emerged in new locations, populations, and settings (1). After an outbreak in Spain in 1997 (2), it was expected that the disease would spread toward Portugal, a country with an extended area that borders the affected areas.

Glycosylation of DsbA in Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2011 ABSTRACTInFrancisella tularensissubsp.tularensis, DsbA has been shown to be an essential virulence factor and has been observed to migrate to multiple protein spots on two-dimensional electrophoresis gels. In this work, we show that the protein is modified with a 1,156-Da glycan moiety inO-linkage.

Putting the Jigsaw Together - A Brief Insight Into the Tularemia
Open Life Sciences, 2015 Tularemia is a debilitating febrile and potentially fatal zoonotic disease of humans and other vertebrates caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Francisella tularensis. The natural reservoirs are small rodents, hares, and possibly amoebas in water.

An Unusual Case of Francisella tularensis
Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2022 A 67-year-old male presented with complaints of weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath in the context of a recent hospitalization for the same unresolved symptoms. After a largely nonspecific clinical presentation, a chest X-ray revealed a loculated pleural effusion.
