Title: Genome Sequencing of 18 Francisella Strains To Aid in Assay Development and Testing

Abstract

Francisella tularensis is a highly infectious bacterium that has the potential of causing high fatality rates if infections are untreated. To aid in the development of rapid and accurate detection assays, we have sequenced and annotated the genomes of 18 F. tularensis and Francisella philomiragia strains.
