Genetic screen identifies cell wall enzyme is key for freshwater survival of <i>Francisella tularensis</i>

2024-11-22

Abstract excerpt

Human infection with Francisella tularensis , a potentially lethal bacterial pathogen, typically occurs after exposure to contaminated water, soil, food, or an infected animal. While F. tularensis can persist in environmental sources over long periods of time, the genetic requirements that permit its long-term viability are not understood. To address this question, we developed a laboratory model for persistence...
