First Francisella novicida Case Report in Argentina
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors present a case report caused by Francisella novicida, rare opportunistic human pathogen that may cause tularemia-like disease in patients who are immunocompromised. diagnosis is challenge since it can be confused with Pasteurella or Brucella, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight systems limited due to its poor performance identification.

Comparative review of Francisella tularensis and Francisella novicida
Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of the acute disease tularemia. Due to its extreme infectivity and ability to cause disease upon inhalation, F. tularensis has been classified as a biothreat agent. Two subspecies of F. tularensis, tularensis and holarctica, are responsible for tularemia in humans. In comparison, the closely related species F. novicida very rarely causes human illne...
متن کاملComparative Transcriptional Analyses of Francisella tularensis and Francisella novicida
Francisella tularensis is composed of a number of subspecies with varied geographic distribution, host ranges, and virulence. In view of these marked differences, comparative functional genomics may elucidate some of the molecular mechanism(s) behind these differences. In this study a shared probe microarray was designed that could be used to compare the transcriptomes of Francisella tularensis...
متن کاملStructure and Engineering of Francisella novicida Cas9
The RNA-guided endonuclease Cas9 cleaves double-stranded DNA targets complementary to the guide RNA and has been applied to programmable genome editing. Cas9-mediated cleavage requires a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) juxtaposed with the DNA target sequence, thus constricting the range of targetable sites. Here, we report the 1.7 Å resolution crystal structures of Cas9 from Francisella novici...
متن کاملEmergence of Francisella novicida Bacteremia, Thailand
We report isolation of Francisella novicida-causing bacteremia in a woman from Thailand who was receiving chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. The organism was isolated from blood cultures and identified by 16S rDNA and PPIase gene analyses. Diagnosis and treatment were delayed due to unawareness of the disease in this region.
متن کاملConstruction of targeted insertion mutations in Francisella tularensis subsp. novicida.
Francisella tularensis is one of the most deadly bacterial agents, yet most of the genetic determinants of pathogenesis are still unknown. We have developed an efficient targeted mutagenesis strategy in the model organism F. tularensis subsp. novicida by utilizing universal priming of optimized antibiotic resistance cassettes and splicing by overlap extension (SOE). This process enables fast an...
