A Distinct Interphase Microtubule State Marks Host Cell Permissiveness to <i>Chlamydia pneumoniae</i> Entry

2026-06-29

Abstract excerpt

Entry of intracellular pathogenic bacteria is widely considered an actin-driven process, potentially overlooking contributions of the microtubule cytoskeleton. Here, we identify a host microtubule state as a determinant of early infection efficiency by Chlamydia pneumoniae . Human cells enriched in acetylated microtubules are preferentially infected, whereas detyrosinated microtubules show no such association. Ph...
