The use of Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMCs) has been proposed recently as a
tool for the improvement of coral health, with knowledge in this research topic advancing …

The pathogenesis of Legionella pneumophila is derived from its growth within lung
macrophages after aerosols are inhaled from contaminated water sources. Interest in this …

Macrophages and protozoa ingest bacteria by phagocytosis and destroy these microbes
using a conserved pathway that mediates fusion of the phagosome with lysosomes. To …

ABSTRACT A paradigm shift has recently transformed the field of biological science;
molecular advances have revealed how fundamentally important microorganisms are to …

L egionella species are ubiquitous, waterborne bacteria that thrive in numerous ecological
niches. Yet, in contrast to many other environmental bacteria, L egionella spp. are also able …

Chlamydiae are evolutionarily well-separated bacteria that live exclusively within eukaryotic
host cells. They include important human pathogens such as Chlamydia trachomatis as well …

The ankyrin repeat (ANK) is the most common protein–protein interaction motif in nature,
and is predominantly found in eukaryotic proteins. Genome sequencing of various …

Regulation through post‐translational ubiquitin signaling underlies a large portion of
eukaryotic biology. This has not gone unnoticed by invading pathogens, many of which have …

Legionella pneumophila promotes intracellular growth by moving bacterial proteins across
membranes via the Icm/Dot system. A strategy was devised to identify large numbers of …

Understanding mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis is critical for infectious disease
control and treatment. Infection is a sophisticated process that requires the participation of …
