The Two Faces of Autophagy: Coxiella and Mycobacterium

Abstract excerpt

In the world of pathogen-host cell interactions, the autophagic pathway has been recently described as a component of the innate immune response against intracellular microorganisms. Indeed, some bacterial survival mechanisms are hampered when this process is activated. Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of macrophages, for example, is impaired upon autophagy induction and the bacterial phagosomes are...
