Intra-ChIP: studying gene regulation in an intracellular pathogen [PDF]
Intracellular bacteria that reside within a host cell use a variety of strategies to exploit this unique niche. While these organisms are technically challenging to study in the context of an infected host cell, recent advances have led to an improved ...

Exploitation of the Host Ubiquitin System: Means by Legionella pneumophila
Ubiquitination is a commonly used post-translational modification (PTM) in eukaryotic cells, which regulates a wide variety of cellular processes, such as differentiation, apoptosis, cell cycle, and immunity.

Epidemiology of intracellular pathogens [PDF]
Epidemiologic studies of Chlamydia pneumoniae have been conducted throughout the world. A rate of antibody prevalence of approximately 50% has been found in adults, with small regional differences. We studied the antibody prevalence of C. pneumoniae in healthy persons and patients with acute respiratory infections in Japan.

Persistent intracellular pathogens [PDF]
Intracellular pathogens live and replicate either within endosomal compartments or in the cytosol of diverse host cells such as macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, fibroblasts, epithelial or endothelial cells or erythrocytes. Examples not only include all viruses, which represent obligate intracellular pathogens in the strictest sense, but also ...

Transcriptional adaptation of shigella flexneri during infection of macrophages and epithelial cells : insights into the strategies of a cytosolic bacterial pathogen [PDF]
Shigella flexneri, the etiologic agent of bacillary dysentery, invades epithelial cells as well as macrophages and dendritic cells and escapes into the cytosol soon after invasion.

A randomized multiplex CRISPRi-Seq approach for the identification of critical combinations of genes
Identifying virulence-critical genes from pathogens is often limited by functional redundancy. To rapidly interrogate the contributions of combinations of genes to a biological outcome, we have developed a multiplex, randomized CRISPR interference ...

Brucella: not your ‘typical’ intracellular pathogen [PDF]
Currently the genus Brucella consists of a group of bacteria that are genetically monospecific yet phenotypically diverse, and a recent genetic and phenotypic divergent group known as ‘atypical' Brucellae.

The Steroid Catabolic Pathway of the Intracellular Pathogen Rhodococcus equi Is Important for Pathogenesis and a Target for Vaccine Development [PDF]
Rhodococcus equi causes fatal pyogranulomatous pneumonia in foals and immunocompromised animals and humans. Despite its importance, there is currently no effective vaccine against the disease. The actinobacteria R.
