Abstract excerpt
Shigella flexneri disseminates within the colonic mucosa by displaying actin-based motility in the cytosol of epithelial cells. Motile bacteria form membrane protrusions that project into adjacent cells and resolve into double-membrane vacuoles (DMVs) from which the bacteria escape, thereby achieving cell-to-cell spread. During dissemination, S. flexneri is targeted by LC3-dependent autophagy, a host cell defense...
