Francisella tularensis is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere, where it is associated with the disease of tularaemia in animals and humans. The isolation and identification is reported of a novicida-like subspecies of F. tularensis from a foot wound sustained in brackish water in the Northern Territory of Australia.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for sequences from isolates 3523 and 2669 are respectively AY243028 and AY243027 (16S rDNA), AY243029 and AY243030 (TUL4 gene partial sequence) and AY243031 (putative RNA helicase gene partial sequence of isolate 2669).
