In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS
FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 11, Page 1589-1604, June 2026.We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Ancient bacteria–amoeba relationships and pathogenic animal bacteria
PLoS Biology, 2017 Long before bacteria infected humans, they infected amoebas, which remain a potentially important reservoir for human disease. Diverse soil amoebas including Dictyostelium and Acanthamoeba can host intracellular bacteria.
