Structural remodeling of <i>Coxiella burnetii</i> during its biphasic developmental cycle revealed by cryo-electron tomography
2022-08-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Coxiella burnetii is an obligate zoonotic bacterium that targets macrophages to cause a disease known as Q fever. It has a biphasic developmental lifecycle where the extracellular and metabolically inactive small cell variant (SCV) transforms, under host acidic environment, into the vegetative large cell variant (LCV). However, the details about the morphological and structural changes that acco...
