Abstract excerpt
Francisella tularensis is a facultative, intracellular, zoonotic pathogen and the causative agent of tularemia. Historically, F. tularensis has been subdivided into subspecies on the basis of phenotypic traits, including biochemical reactivity and virulence. More recently, a number of genotypic methods, ranging from relatively insensitive methods to full genome sequencing, have been used to investigate genetic...
