Tularemia is caused by the category A biodefense agent Francisella tularensis. This bacterium is associated with diverse environments and a plethora of arthropod and mammalian hosts. How F. tularensis adapts to these different conditions, particularly the eukaryotic intracellular environment in which it replicates, is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the polyamines spermine and spermidine are environmental signals that alter bacterial stimulation of host cells. Genomewide analysis sh ...[more]
