Abstract excerpt
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that replicates to high numbers in an acidified lysosome-derived vacuole. Intracellular replication requires the Dot/Icm type IVB secretion system, which translocates over 100 different effector proteins into the host cell. Screens employing random transposon mutagenesis have identified several C. burnetii effectors that play an important role in...
