Abstract excerpt
Legionella pneumophila is primarily an intracellular pathogen during infection; thus, the mechanisms of entry into host cells are likely to be important for pathogenesis. Several L. pneumophila mutants that display an enhanced-entry (Enh) phenotype were isolated by selecting for bacteria that enter host cells at a higher frequency than wild-type. In the course of characterizing the genetic basis of one of these...
