Metabolism of <i>myo</i> -Inositol by Legionella pneumophila Promotes Infection of Amoebae and Macrophages

11 Jun 2016

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Legionella pneumophila is a natural parasite of environmental amoebae and the causative agent of a severe pneumonia termed Legionnaires' disease. The facultative intracellular pathogen employs a bipartite metabolism, where the amino acid serine serves as the major energy supply, while glycerol and glucose are mainly utilized for anabolic processes. The L. pneumophila genome harbors the cluster lpg1653...
