Rombencephalitis Caused by Francisella tularensis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT Common presentations of tularemia include pneumonia and ulceroglandular, oropharyngeal, or typhoidal disease. Neuromeningeal involvement is extremely rare. We report a case of a severe rhombencephalitis due to Francisella tularensis .

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

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 ...

Exploitation of Host Cell Biology and Evasion of Immunity by Francisella Tularensis [PDF]

, 2011
Francisella tularensis is an intracellular bacterium that infects humans and many small mammals. During infection, F. tularensis replicates predominantly in macrophages but also proliferate in other cell types. Entry into host cells is mediate by various

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.

Molecular Investigation of Tularemia Outbreaks, Spain, 1997–2008 [PDF]

, 2014
Tularemia outbreaks occurred in northwestern Spain in 1997–1998 and 2007–2008 and affected >1,000 persons. We assessed isolates involved in these outbreaks by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis with 2 restriction enzymes and multilocus variable ...
