Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant mutants were previously selected from the live vaccine strain (LVS) of Francisella tularensis (F. tularensis) subsp. holarctica. This study further characterised all genetic changes that occurred in these mutants during the evolutionary trajectory toward high-level FQ resistance, and their potential impact on F. tularensis antibiotic resistance and intracellular fitness....
