Host-specific adaptation of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> to single and multiple hosts

2024-11-18

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila is an endosymbiotic bacterial species able to infect and reproduce in various protist and human hosts. Upon entry in human lungs, they may infect lung macrophages, causing Legionnaires’ disease (LD), an atypical pneumonia, using similar mechanisms as in their protozoan hosts, despite the two hosts being separated by a billion years of evolution. In this study, we used experimental evolution...
