Abstract

Francisella tularensis is the causative pathogen of tularemia and a Tier 1 bioterror agent on the CDC list. Considering the fact that some subpopulation of the F. tularensis strains is more virulent, more significantly associated with mortality, and therefore poses more threat to humans, rapid identification and characterization of this subpopulation strains is of invaluable importance. This review summarizes the up-to-date developments of assays for mainly detecting and characterizing F. tularensis and a touch of caveats of some of the assays.

土拉菌是土拉菌病的致病病原体，也是美国疾病控制与预防中心名单上的一级生物恐怖剂。考虑到土拉菌菌株的某些亚群毒性更强，与死亡率关联更大，因此对人类构成更大的威胁，快速识别和表征该亚群菌株具有非常重要的意义。本文综述了主要用于检测和表征土拉菌病的检测方法的最新进展，并对一些检测方法提出了一些注意事项。
