Rickettsia disrupts and reduces endothelial tight junction protein zonula occludens-1 in association with inflammasome activation

Infection and Immunity
Rickettsia spp. cause life-threatening diseases in humans. The fundamental pathophysiological changes in fatal rickettsial diseases are disrupted endothelial barrier and increased microvascular permeability.

Tools and mechanisms of vacuolar escape leading to host egress in Legionella pneumophila infection: Emphasis on bacterial phospholipases

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 368-384, March 2024.
Scheme of how secreted exit‐associated phospholipases are engaged by Legionella pneumophila during lytic escape. 1. L. pneumophila enters the host cell in an endocytic manner. 2. The bacterium actively establishes an intracellular niche (Legionella‐containing vacuole, LCV) which is required for replication.
