Autophagy Evasion and Endoplasmic Reticulum Subversion: The Yin and Yang of<i>Legionella</i>Intracellular Infection
8 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
The gram-negative bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila creates a novel organelle inside of eukaryotic host cells that supports intracellular replication. The L. pneumophila-containing vacuole evades fusion with lysosomes and interacts intimately with the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Although the natural hosts for L. pneumophila are free-living protozoa that reside in freshwater environments, the...
