In observing Francisella tularensis interactions with nonphagocytic cell lines in vitro, we noted significant adherence, invasion, and intracellular growth of the bacteria within these cells. F. tularensis live vaccine strain invasion of nonprofessional phagocytic cells is inhibited by cytochalasin D and nocodazole, suggesting that both the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons are important for invasion.
