Several intracellular bacterial pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, Shigella
flexerni, and Rickettsia spp. use an actin-based motility process to spread in mammalian cell …

Rickettsia species of the spotted fever group are arthropod-borne obligate intracellular
bacteria that can cause mild to severe human disease. These bacteria invade host cells …

To combat infectious diseases, it is important to understand how host cells interact with
bacterial pathogens. Signals conveyed from pathogen to host, and vice versa, may be either …

Direct cell-to-cell spreading of Listeria monocytogenes requires the bacteria to induce actin-
based finger-like membrane protrusions in donor host cells that are endocytosed through …

For multiple intracellular bacterial pathogens, the ability to spread directly into adjacent
epithelial cells is an essential step for disease in humans. For pathogens such as Shigella …
