Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis FSC043 genome project.. Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis FSC043

Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis FSC043. Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis FSC043 is a derivative of the SCHU strain. Both the FSC043 strain and the SCHU S4 strain are derived from a strain originally isolated from a human ulcer by Dr. Lee Foshay in Ohio 1941. Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis FSC043, together with the FSC198 and SCHU S4 strains, will provide information about mutational patterns in contrasting environments.
