Global transcriptional response to mammalian temperature provides new insight into <it>Francisella tularensis </it>pathogenesis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>After infecting a mammalian host, the facultative intracellular bacterium, <it>Francisella tularensis</it>, encounters an elevated environmental temperature. We hypothesized that this temperature change may regulate genes...
