To establish their niches for microbial replication, obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens
co-opt numerous host cell resources and hijack metabolic pathways. Because of their …

Obligate intracellular bacteria represent consummate parasites, often covertly co-opting host
resources to enable development and ultimately transmission to a new host. The overall …

As their designation implies, obligate intracellular bacteria are microbes that have
developed lifestyles so closely entwined with the cells of the hosts they infect that they can …

It is estimated that approximately one billion people are at risk of infection with obligate
intracellular bacteria, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms that govern their …
