Identification of a novel small RNA modulating Francisella tularensis pathogenicity.
Francisella tularensis is a highly virulent bacterium responsible for the zoonotic disease tularemia. It is a facultative intracellular pathogen that replicates in the cytoplasm of host cells, particularly in macrophages. Here we show that F. tularensis live vaccine strain (LVS) expresses a novel sm...
