Characterization of the PdpA protein and its role in the intracellular lifestyle of Francisella novicida

Francisella tularensis is a highly virulent, intracellular pathogen that causes the disease tularaemia. Francisella species contain a cluster of genes referred to as the Francisella pathogenicity island (FPI). Several genes contained in the FPI encode proteins needed for the intracellular growth a...
