The type IV pilin, PilA, is required for full virulence of Francisella tularensis subspecies tularensis

BACKGROUND: All four Francisella tularensis subspecies possess gene clusters with potential to express type IV pili (Tfp). These clusters include putative pilin genes, as well as pilB, pilC and pilQ, required for secretion and assembly of Tfp. A hallmark of Tfp is the ability to retract the pilus up...
