A wild and an attenuated strain of Francisella tularensis differ in susceptibility to hypochlorous acid: a possible explanation of their different handling by polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

We have previously reported that a wild strain of Francisella tularensis is much less efficiently killed by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes than is an attenuated strain. In the present study, the killing of the attenuated strain was found to be strictly oxygen dependent. The wild and the attenuated strains both induced a respiratory burst in the leukocytes. The difference between the strains in susceptibility to agents produced at the burst could be explained by a difference in susceptibility to hypochlorous acid.[1]
