Abstract Background Francisella tularensis is a gram negative, facultative intracellular bacterium that is the etiological agent of tularemia. F. novicida is closely related to F. tularensis but has...

Francisella tularensis is able to survive and grow within macrophages, a trait that contributes to pathogenesis. Several genes have been identified that are important for intramacrophage survival,...
A Francisella tularensis Pathogenicity Island Required for Intramacrophage Growth
Nano, Francis E., Zhang, Na, Cowley, Siobhán C., Klose, Karl E., Cheung, Karen K. M., Roberts, Michael J., ...
Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen that causes the highly infectious zoonotic disease tularemia. We have discovered a ca. 30-kb pathogenicity island of F....
Construction and Characterization of a Highly Efficient Francisella Shuttle Plasmid
Maier, Tamara M., Havig, Andrea, Casey, Monika, Nano, Francis E., Frank, Dara W., Zahrt, Thomas C.
Francisella tularensis is a facultative intracellular pathogen that infects a wide variety of mammals and causes tularemia in humans. It is recognized as a potential agent of bioterrorism due to its...
Virulence of Francisella spp. in Chicken Embryos
Nix, Eli B., Cheung, Karen K. M., Wang, Diana, Zhang, Na, Burke, Robert D., Nano, Francis E.
We examined the utility of infecting chicken embryos as a means of evaluating the virulence of different Francisella sp. strains and mutants. Infection of 7-day-old chicken embryos with a low dose of...
