Akt and SHIP modulate Francisella escape from the phagosome and induction of the Fas-mediated death pathway.

Francisella tularensis infects macrophages and escapes phago-lysosomal fusion to replicate within the host cytosol, resulting in host cell apoptosis. Here we show that the Fas-mediated death pathway is activated in infected cells and correlates with escape of the bacterium from the phagosome and the...
