Abstract

Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia. We tested the susceptibility of 278 F. tularensis isolates from the United States received during 2009-2018 to 8 antimicrobial drugs (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, doxycycline, tetracycline, gentamicin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, and erythromycin). All isolates were susceptible to all tested drugs.
