Studies of the lipopolysaccharide from the intracellular pathogens Francisella tularensis and Francisella novicida

Francisella tularensis and Francisella novicida are closely related facultative intracellular pathogens capable of survival and growth within macrophages. In this work we present evidence to show that F. tularensis uses phase variation to alter lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigenicity, macropha...
