Bacterial interactions with the autophagic pathway

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria have evolved a variety of mechanisms to invade eukaryotic cells and survive intracellularly. Once inside, bacterial pathogens often modulate their phagosome to establish an intracellular niche for survival and replication. A subset of intracellular pathogens, including Brucella abortus, Legionella pneumophila and Porphyromonas gingivalis, are diverted from the endosomal pathway to the auto-phagic...
