Intracellular Bacteria in Protozoa
The Science of Nature, 1998Intracellular bacteria in humans are typically detrimental, and such infections are regarded by the patients as accidental and abnormal. In protozoa it seems obvious that many bacteria have coevolved with their hosts and are well adapted to the intracellular way of life.

Intracellular bacteria and adverse pregnancy outcomes [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2011 This review considers the role of intracellular bacteria in adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage, stillbirths, and preterm labour. The cause of miscarriage, stillbirth and preterm labour often remains unexplained. Intracellular bacteria that grow either poorly or not at all on media used routinely to detect human pathogens could be the ...

Mobile DNA in obligate intracellular bacteria
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2005The small genomes of obligate intracellular bacteria are often presumed to be impervious to mobile DNA and the fluid genetic processes that drive diversification in free-living bacteria. Categorized by reductive evolution and streamlining, the genomes of some obligate intracellular bacteria manifest striking degrees of stability and gene synteny ...

Immune responses to intracellular bacteria
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2001The multifaceted dialogue between intracellular bacteria and the mammalian host continues to be an exciting issue from both the scientific and public-health viewpoint. The recent year has witnessed some particularly impressive progress in knowledge about the two major culprits affecting the health of mankind, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Salmonella ...

Innate recognition of intracellular bacteria
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2007The molecular repertoire for innate recognition of bacterial pathogens has expanded rapidly in the past decade. These immunosensors include Toll-like receptors and the more recently defined NOD-like receptors (NLRs): NODs, NALPs, NAIP and IPAF. Toll-like receptors signal from the cell surface or endosome upon ligand binding, whereas NLRs are activated ...

Intracellular bacteria in ciliates
International Microbiology, 2001Ciliates are frequently colonized by other micro-organisms. The large size of ciliate cells offers habitats for hundreds to thousands of bacteria in different compartments, such as cytoplasm, nuclei and even perinuclear spaces. Size, phagocytic feeding habit and other features appear to be favorable pre-adaptations of ciliates for symbiosis with ...

Intracellular growth of bacteria
1994Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the intracellular growth of bacteria. The protocol has been described to quantitate the intracellular growth of bacteria with particular reference to Listeria monocytogenes and has been applied successfully to the J774 mouse macrophage-like cell line and an epithelial cell line and primary cultures of murine

Intracellular Killing of Bacteria
New England Journal of Medicine, 1969DRAMATIC morphologic changes occur in polymorphonuclear leukocytes during bacterial phagocytosis. Cytoplasmic granules disappear, and the granular membranes fuse with phagocytic vacuoles.

Intracellular sensors of extracellular bacteria
Immunological Reviews, 2011Summary: Initial recognition of bacteria by the innate immune system is thought to occur primarily by germline‐encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). These receptors are present in multiple compartments of host cells and are thus capable of surveying both the intracellular and extracellular milieu for bacteria.

Physics of Intracellular Organization in Bacteria
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2015With the realization that bacteria achieve exquisite levels of spatiotemporal organization has come the challenge of discovering the underlying mechanisms. In this review, we describe three classes of such mechanisms, each of which has physical origins: the use of landmarks, the creation of higher-order structures that enable geometric sensing, and ...
