Molecular assay reagents intended to identify Francisella tularensis, a gram-negative coccoid or rodlike bacterium, by detecting specific genetic information of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the target bacteria. This bacterium is an etiologic agent of tularemia (type A strains frequently result in pulmonary tularemia), a disease characterized by malaise, fever, chills, and weakness; these bacteria are typically transmitted by wild animals.
