Manipulation of autophagy by bacteria for their own benefit

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is the host innate immune system's first line of defense against microbial intruders. When the innate defense system recognizes invading bacterial pathogens and their infection processes, autophagic proteins act as cytosolic sensors that allow the autophagic pathway to be rapidly activated. However, many intracellular bacterial pathogens deploy highly evolved mechanisms to evade autophagic recognition,...
