(author), Reubsaet, F.A.G. (author), Paauw, A. (author), Roeselers, G. (author)Francisella tularensis is a facultative intracellular bacterium in the class Gammaproteobacteria. This strain is of interest because it is the etiologic agent of tularemia and a highly virulent category A biothreat agent. Here we describe the draft genome sequence and annotation of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica BD11-00177, isolated...article 2013

(author), de Vries, M.C. (author), Reubsaet, F.A.G. (author)We report here the first case of indigenous tularemia detected inTheNetherlands, a nonendemic country, since 1953.Whole genome DNAsequence analysis assigned the isolate BD11-00177 to the genomic group B.FTNF002-00,which previously has been exclusively reported from Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany. The patient had not been abroad...article 2013
