Characterization of a novicida-like subspecies of Francisella tularensis isolated in Australia.
Francisella tularensis is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere, where it is associated with the disease of tularaemia in animals and humans. The isolation and identification is reported of a novicida-like subspecies of F. tularensis from a foot wound sustained in brackish water in the Northern Territory of Australia.
