Deletion of the Major Facilitator Superfamily Transporter fptB Alters Host Cell Interactions and Attenuates Virulence of Type A Francisella tularensis
Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative, facultative, intracellular coccobacillus that can infect a wide variety of hosts. In humans, F. tularensis causes the zoonosis tularemia following insect bites, ingestion, inhalation, and the handling of infected animals. The fact that a very small inoculum...
