Dictyostelium as host model for pathogenesis.

Cellular microbiology - 1 Mar 2005

Steinert Michael, Heuner Klaus

Abstract excerpt

The haploid social soil amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has been established as a host model for several pathogens including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Cryptococcus neoformans, Mycobacterium spp. and Legionella pneumophila. The research areas presently pursued include (i) the use of Dictyostelium wild-type cells as screening system for virulence of extracellular and intracellular pathogens and their corresponding...
