Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Pathogenesis of Infections Caused by Legionella pneumophila

TL;DR: The factors that contribute to the ability of L. pneumophila to infect and replicate in human cells and amoebae are reviewed with an emphasis on proteins that are secreted by the bacteria into the Legionella vacuole and/or the host cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two novel point mutations in clinical Staphylococcus aureus reduce linezolid susceptibility and switch on the stringent response to promote persistent infection.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time the impact of an active stringent response in S. aureus, which was associated with reduced growth, and attenuated virulence in the Galleria mellonella model, and highlighting potential weaknesses of current antibiotic treatment regimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Coxiella burnetii Dot/Icm System Delivers a Unique Repertoire of Type IV Effectors into Host Cells and Is Required for Intracellular Replication

TL;DR: Data indicate that C. burnetii encodes a unique subset of bacterial effector proteins translocated into host cells by the Dot/Icm apparatus, and that the cumulative activities exerted by these effectors enables C.Burnetii to successfully establish a niche inside mammalian cells that supports intracellular replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of the Legionella longbeachae Genome and Transcriptome Uncovers Unique Strategies to Cause Legionnaires' Disease

TL;DR: Sequencing and analysis of four L. longbeachae genomes revealed species-specific differences that may account for the different environmental niches and disease epidemiology of these two Legionella species, including a less pronounced biphasic life cycle as compared to L. pneumophila.
