Isolation and Mutagenesis of a Capsule-Like Complex (CLC) from Francisella tularensis, and Contribution of the CLC to F. tularensis Virulence in Mice

A Francisella tularensis Live Vaccine Strain (LVS) Mutant with a Deletion in capB, Encoding a Putative Capsular Biosynthesis Protein, Is Significantly More Attenuated than LVS yet Induces Potent Protective Immunity in Mice against F. tularensis Challenge
