Francisella tularensis, the bacterial cause of tularemia, infects the liver and replicates in hepatocytes in vivo and in vitro. However, the factors that govern adaptation of F. tularensis to the intrahepatocytic niche have not been identified. Using cDNA microarrays, we determined the transcriptional profile of the live vaccine strain (LVS) of F. tularensis grown in the FL83B murine hepatocytic cell line compared to that of F. tularensis cultured in broth. The fslC gene of the fsl operon was th ...[more]
