Modified activities of macrophages’ deubiquitinating enzymes after Francisella infection
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
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
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]
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.

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