The Frustrated Host Response to Legionella pneumophila Is Bypassed by MyD88-Dependent Translation of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines
24 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
Many pathogens, particularly those that require their host for survival, have devised mechanisms to subvert the host immune response in order to survive and replicate intracellularly. Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, promotes intracellular growth by translocating proteins into its host cytosol through its type IV protein secretion machinery.
