2024-09-28
Abstract excerpt
The causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, Legionella pneumophila , is an amoebae-resistant environmental bacterium, which replicates intracellularly in a distinct compartment, the “ Legionella -containing vacuole” (LCV). L. pneumophila employs the α-hydroxyketone compound LAI-1 ( Legionella autoinducer-1) for intra-species and inter-kingdom signaling. LAI-1 promotes intracellular replication and inhibits t...
