The use of Shigella flexneri to study bacterial cell biology during infection of host cells

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Shigella flexneri is a facultative intracellular bacterium and a paradigm to address key issues in cell biology and cell-autonomous immunity. Cell-autonomous immunity is a system of host defence that senses invading pathogens and mobilises anti-pathogen mechanisms, including autophagy. Recently, it has become clear that the cytoskeleton is directly linked to cell-autonomous immunity. During my PhD, I used S. flexn...
