Immunogenic Properties of Cell Wall Preparations of Francisella tularensis Different Subspecies in Experimental Tularemia

open access: yesЭпидемиология и вакцинопрофилактика, 2018
Immunogenic properties of cell wall (CW) preparations of Francisella tularensis four subspecies are investigated. It is shown that the  preparations from F. tularensis urea lysates are not toxic for  experimental animals. Besides, CW of F.

Modified activities of macrophages’ deubiquitinating enzymes after Francisella infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Francisella tularensis influences several host molecular/signaling pathways during infection. Ubiquitination and deubiquitination are among the most important regulatory mechanisms and respectively occur through attachment or removal of the ubiquitin ...

Lethal Case of Bourbon Virus Leading to Shock and ECMO Utilization

open access: yesCase Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
We present a lethal case of Bourbon virus infection in a 63‐year‐old Caucasian, diabetic male who was previously in good health. The patient had spent time in the wooded areas of Bourbon County, Kansas, and removed three ticks from his body 5 days prior to presentation.

Virulent Type A Francisella tularensis actively suppresses cytokine responses in human monocytes

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative facultative bacterium that can cause the disease tularemia, even upon exposure to low numbers of bacteria. One critical characteristic of Francisella is its ability to dampen or subvert the host immune response ...

Border patrol gone awry: Lung NKT cell activation by Francisella tularensis exacerbates tularemia-like disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The respiratory mucosa is a major site for pathogen invasion and, hence, a site requiring constant immune surveillance. The type I, semi-invariant natural killer T (NKT) cells are enriched within the lung vasculature.

Ulceroglandular Infection and Bacteremia Caused by Francisella salimarina in Immunocompromised Patient, France

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Although Francisella tularensis is a well-known, highly virulent bacterium that causes tularemia in humans, other Francisella species have been associated with sporadic human infections. We describe a human cutaneous infection with bacteremia caused by F.

Extragenic suppressor mutations in ΔripA disrupt stability and function of LpxA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative bacterium that infects hundreds of species including humans, and has evolved to grow efficiently within a plethora of cell types. RipA is a conserved membrane protein

Genetic diversity within the genus Francisella as revealed by comparative analyses of the genomes of two North American isolates from environmental sources

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
Background Francisella tularensis is an intracellular pathogen that causes tularemia in humans and the public health importance of this bacterium has been well documented in recent history. Francisella philomiragia, a distant relative of F.
