Transcriptome Sequencing Data Sets of Human Lung Epithelial Cells in the Course of Francisella tularensis Infection.

is a highly infectious intracellular bacterium representing the causative agent of tularemia, a severe disease which requires prompt antibacterial intervention for mitigating its potential high mortality. Inhaled bacteria interact with lung cells belonging to various subpopulations, including those of the epithelium. As of today, the host epithelial response to inhalational infection with is poorly understood. Here, we announce host transcriptome data sets which systematically address the human epithelial response to at different time points postinfection.
