Macrophage replication screen identifies a novel Francisella hydroperoxide resistance protein involved in virulence.
Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative facultative intracellular pathogen and the causative agent of tularemia. Recently, genome-wide screens have identified Francisella genes required for virulence in mice. However, the mechanisms by which most of the corresponding proteins contribute to pathoge...
