Phenotypic characterization of the Francisella tularensis ΔpdpC and ΔiglG mutants

, 2016
Several bacterial pathogens interact with their host through protein secretion effectuated by a type VI secretion system (T6SS). Francisella tularensis is a highly pathogenic intracellular bacterium that causes the disease tularemia.

Invasion of Erythrocytes by Francisella tularensis [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia and is classified as a category A biodefense agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention because of its highly infectious nature. F. tularensis infects leukocytes and exhibits an extracellular phase in the blood of the host. It is unknown, however, whether F.

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

Environmental adaptation of Francisella tularensis [PDF]

Microbes and Infection, 2009
Concerns over weaponizable bacteria have recently prompted considerable interest in Francisella tularensis (Ft). In addition to its potential illicit use, Ft occurs naturally in diverse ecological niches including mammals, arthropods, and fresh water protozoans.
