Masterson, Joseph E. McGann, Virginia G. and PETZOLDT, KLAUS What part of the immune system is important to infection with Francisella Tularensis: CMI- Macrophage activation is CRUCIAL for resolution Roche, Marly I. Johansson, T. Wren, Brendan W Eigelsbach, Henry T.
Tularemia is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis (F. tularensis), one of the most infectious agents known.Not only does F. tularensis infect a very high number of different species (greater than 250), an extremely low number of organisms (less than 10) are capable of establishing a potentially lethal infection.. Sharon, Jacqueline Francisella tularensis is a highly infectious agent but its virulence factors have not been well characterized.

F tularensis is considered a category A bioterrorism agent (CDC: Select agents and toxins).The following information supports the use of F tularensis as a potential biological weapon (CDC: Key facts about tularemia, Christopher 1997, Dennis 2001). F tularensis is highly infectious, occurs widely in nature, and can be isolated and grown in quantity in the laboratory. Apicella, Michael A.

It is able to infect a variety of animals and insects and can persist in the environment, thus Francisella spp. Regardless of the method, scientists know that the genes for this process are encoded in the Francisella pathogenicity island (FPI), which codes for a bunch of virulence factors. 2005.
