Abstract excerpt
Francisella tularensis is a facultative intracellular bacterium capable of inducing apoptosis in murine macrophages. In a previous study, an iglC null mutant of F. tularensis live vaccine strain LVS was generated by allelic replacement and in the current study this iglC mutant was successfully complemented in trans. We characterized the capacity of this iglC mutant and the complemented strain to induce macrophage...
