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.

Helicobacter pylori In Free‐Living Amoebae: A Potential Environmental Reservoir for Persistence and Transmission

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Free‐living amoebae may provide an underrecognised environmental niche for Helicobacter pylori, supporting its intracellular persistence, morphological plasticity, and protection from environmental stress. These interactions could facilitate prolonged survival in aquatic and food‐associated environments and contribute to potential waterborne or ...

Azithromycin effectiveness against intracellular infections of Francisella

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Macrolide antibiotics are commonly administered for bacterial respiratory illnesses. Azithromycin (Az) is especially noted for extremely high intracellular concentrations achieved within macrophages which is far greater than the serum ...

Diagnosis and Management of Infectious Encephalitis in Adults: Guidelines From the European Academy of Neurology and European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Encephalitis is difficult to diagnose and manage, posing a challenge to clinicians. Since the last European guidelines were published in 2010, novel causes have emerged, diagnostic processes have evolved and treatments assessed which need to be reflected in updated guidelines.

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

open access: yesVeterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 5, Page e238-e249, 5/12 September 2026.
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

Ecology ofFrancisella tularensis

open access: yesAnnual Review of Entomology, 2020
Tularemia is a Holarctic zoonosis caused by the gamma proteobacterium Francisella tularensis and is considered to be a vector-borne disease. In many regions, human risk is associated with the bites of flies, mosquitoes, or ticks. But the biology of the agent is such that risk may be fomite related, and large outbreaks can occur due to inhalation or ...

Francisella tularensis [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Biosafety, 2017
Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is a HHS Tier 1 select agent. Tularemia is the most commonly reported human and animal infection caused by a bacterial select agent in the United States. Because of the rarity of disease, low clinical suspicion, and the organism's low infectious dose, F.

Acid Resistance in Francisella tularensis [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, 2014
AbstractFrancisella tularensis, the etiologic agent of tularemia, can survive under acidic conditions. Tularemia can be acquired by several routes, including by ingestion of contaminated food or water. While acid resistance is usually associated with a low oral infective dose (ID), the ID for gastrointestinal illness is quite high.
