The capBCA Locus Is Required For Intracellular Growth Of Francisella tularensis LVS
Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia and a category A bioterrorism agent. The molecular basis for the extreme virulence of Francisella tularensis remains unclear. Our recent study found that capBCA, three neighboring genes, are necessary for the infection of F. tularensis liv...
