Bacteria communicate with each other through a plethora of small, diffusible organic
molecules called autoinducers. This cell-density-dependent regulatory principle is termed …

To prevail in the interaction with eukaryotic hosts, many bacterial pathogens use protein
secretion systems to release virulence factors at the host–pathogen interface and/or deliver …

Legionella pneumophila replicates in macrophages and amoeba within a unique
compartment, the Legionella‐containing vacuole (LCV). Hallmarks of LCV formation are the …

Invasive bacteria colonise their host tissues by establishing niches inside eukaryotic cells,
where they grow either in the cytosol or inside a specialised vacuole. These two distinct …

Indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat microbial pathogens has caused emergence of
multiple drug resistant strains. Most infectious diseases are caused by microbes that are …

The amoeba-resistant bacterium Legionella pneumophila causes Legionnaires' disease
and employs a type IV secretion system (T4SS) to replicate in the unique, ER-associated …

In its canonical interpretation, quorum sensing (QS) allows single cells in a bacterial
population to synchronize gene expression and hence perform specific tasks collectively …

The causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, Legionella pneumophila, is an environmental
bacterium, that replicates in macrophages, parasitizes amoeba, and forms biofilms. L …

Vesicular trafficking and membrane fusion are well-characterized, versatile, and
sophisticated means of 'long range'intracellular protein and lipid delivery. Membrane contact …

The bulk of bacteria transiently evading appropriate antibiotic regimes and recovered from
non-resolutive infections are commonly refer to as persisters. In this mini-review, we discuss …
