Abstract excerpt
Francisella tularensis (F. tularensis) is highly infectious for humans via aerosol route and untreated infections with the highly virulent subsp. tularensis can be fatal. Our knowledge regarding key virulence determinants has increased recently but is still somewhat limited. Surface proteins are potential virulence factors and therapeutic targets, and in this study, we decided to target three genes encoding...
