Summary

This research investigates tularemia, a highly infectious disease caused by Francisella tularensis, and explores a weakened bacterial strain as a vaccine candidate. By studying how the pathogen evades immune defenses, the work aims to enable rapid immune recognition and response, improving protection against both natural infections and potential biothreats.
