Growth of Legionella pneumophila in Dictyostelium discoideum: a novel system for genetic analysis of host-pathogen interactions.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Oct 2000

Solomon J M, Isberg R R

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila, the Gram-negative bacterium that causes Legionnaires' disease, can be cultured in the laboratory in a variety of fresh-water amoebae and macrophage-like cell lines. None of these hosts, however, is amenable to genetic analysis, which has limited the ability of researchers...
