<i>Francisella tularensis</i> Induces Aberrant Activation of Pulmonary Dendritic Cells

Abstract excerpt

Francisella tularensis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that induces severe, acute, often fatal disease when acquired by the respiratory route. Despite the seriousness of this pathogen, very little is understood about its interaction with key target cells in the airways and lungs (alveolar macrophages and airway dendritic cells (DC)) after inhalation.
