The Francisellapathogenicity island protein IglA localizes to the bacterial cytoplasm and is needed for intracellular growth (2007)

De Bruin, Olle M, Ludu, Jagjit S, Nano, Francis E

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...

MglA regulates transcription of virulence factors necessary for Francisella tularensis intraamoebae and intramacrophage survival

Lauriano, Crystal M., Barker, Jeffrey R., Yoon, Sang-Sun, Nano, Francis E., Arulanandam, Bernard P., Hassett, Daniel J., ...

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...

The Francisella Pathogenicity Island Protein PdpD Is Required for Full Virulence and Associates with Homologues of the Type VI Secretion System▿

Ludu, Jagjit S., De Bruin, Olle M., Duplantis, Barry N., Schmerk, Crystal L., Chou, Alicia Y., Elkins, Karen L., ...

Francisella tularensis is a highly infectious, facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen that is the causative agent of tularemia. Nearly a century ago, researchers observed that tularemia was...

Comparative Genomic Characterization of Francisella tularensis Strains Belonging to Low and High Virulence Subspecies

Champion, Mia D., Zeng, Qiandong, Nix, Eli B., Nano, Francis E., Keim, Paul, Kodira, Chinnappa D., ...

Tularemia is a geographically widespread, severely debilitating, and occasionally lethal disease in humans. It is caused by infection by a gram-negative bacterium, Francisella tularensis. In order to...
