Abstract
Three immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) methods were employed to show la
boratory-cultivated Francisella tularensis. By the IEM assays, F. tula
rensis was distinguished from four antigenically distinct gram-negativ
e bacteria. IEM should be a valuable tool for confirming presumptive i
solates of F. tularensis and may potentially be useful for demonstrati
ng other medically important bacteria.
