Stepwise assembly of virulence-associated traits in the intracellular pathogen <i>Coxiella burnetii</i>

2026-05-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Coxiella burnetii is the only member of the order Legionellales known to primarily infect vertebrates. The Q fever pathogen is also unusual in that it replicates within an acidified phagolysosome-like vacuole. The evolutionary origins of the virulence determinants underlying this lifestyle remain unclear. More broadly, little is known about how virulence-related traits arise in specialized intra...
