Journal ArticleDOI
Tularemia: History, Epidemiology, Pathogen Physiology, and Clinical Manifestations
TL;DR: This article summarizes, predominantly with a historical perspective, the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of tularemia and the physiology of F. tularensis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tularaemia: bioterrorism defence renews interest in Francisella tularensis
TL;DR: Francisella tularensis is a highly infectious aerosolizable intracellular pathogen that is capable of causing a debilitating or fatal disease with doses as low as 25 colony-forming units, and there is no licensed vaccine available.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of a highly virulent isolate of F. tularensis is reported and an unexpectedly high proportion of disrupted pathways are found, explaining the fastidious nutritional requirements of the bacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Attenuated Strain of the Facultative Intracellular Bacterium Francisella tularensis Can Escape the Phagosome of Monocytic Cells
TL;DR: The findings indicate that F. tularensis LVS is able to escape from the phagosomes of macrophages via a mechanism that may involve degradation of thephagosomal membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of 16s Ribosomal DNA Sequences of Francisella Strains and Utilization for Determination of the Phylogeny of the Genus and for Identification of Strains by PCR
TL;DR: The sequence of Francisella novicida was virtually identical to the sequences of the F. tularensis strains, thereby supporting the hypothesis that these organisms are members of the same species.
