Transcriptome Sequencing Data Sets of Human Lung Epithelial Cells in the Course of Francisella tularensis Infection

Abstract

Francisella tularensis is a highly infectious intracellular bacterium representing the causative agent of tularemia, a severe disease which requires prompt antibacterial intervention for mitigating its potential high mortality. Inhaled bacteria interact with lung cells belonging to various subpopulations, including those of the epithelium.
