Identification of macrophage-specific infectivity loci (mil) of Legionella pneumophila that are not required for infectivity of protozoa.

Infection and immunity - 1 Mar 1998

Gao L Y, Harb O S, Kwaik Y A

Abstract excerpt

We have recently shown that many mutants of Legionella pneumophila exhibit similar defective phenotypes within both U937 human-derived macrophages and the protozoan host Acanthamoeba (L.-Y. Gao, O. S. Harb, and Y. Abu Kwaik, Infect. Immun. 65:4738-4746, 1997). These observations have suggested that many of the mechanisms utilized by L. pneumophila to parasitize mammalian and protozoan cells are similar, but our...
