5. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen in host defence against Francisella tularensis
University dissertation from Umeå : Klinisk mikrobiologiAbstract : Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is a potent human and animal pathogen. Initially upon infection of the host, intramacrophage proliferation of F. tularensis occurs but after activation of the acquired host immunity, the phagocytes become activated to kill the bacterium. In my thesis, I focused on mechanisms utilized by F. READ MORE
