AB  - Tularemia  is  a  highly  infectious  zoonotic  disease  caused  by  several  subspecies  of  the  gram-negative  bacterium  Francisella  tularensis  (Table  286-1).  Francisella  tularensis  is  a  small,  aerobic,  nonmotile  gram-negative  bacterium  first  identified  in  1911  by  Dr.  Edward  Francis,  after  an  outbreak  of  plague-like  disease  in  rodents  in  Tulare  County,  California.  Infection  has  been  reported  in  humans  since  1914.  In  the  United  States,  nearly  all  human  cases  of  tularemia  are  caused  by  the  F  tularensis  subspecies  tularensis  (type  A,  66%)  or  F  tularensis  subspecies  holarctica  (type  B,  34%).
