Considerable progress has been made in recent years in the structural and molecular
biology of type IV secretion systems in Gram-negative bacteria. The latest advances have …

An outbreak of a potentially fatal form of pneumonia in 1976 and in the annual convention of
the American Legion was the first time that Legionella spp. was identified. Thereafter, the …

The causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, Legionella pneumophila, is an environmental
bacterium, that replicates in macrophages, parasitizes amoeba, and forms biofilms. L …

Legionella pneumophila is a Gram-negative environmental bacterium, which survives in
planktonic form, colonizes biofilms, and infects protozoa. Upon inhalation of Legionella …

The pathogenicity of L. pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, depends
on an arsenal of interacting proteins. Here we describe how surface-associated and …

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia expresses a type IV protein secretion system (T4SS) that
promotes contact-dependent killing of other bacteria and does so partly by secreting the …

The amoeba-resistant bacterium Legionella pneumophila causes Legionnaires' disease
and employs a type IV secretion system (T4SS) to replicate in the unique, ER-associated …

Legionella pneumophila utilizes the Dot/Icm type IVB secretion system to deliver hundreds
of effector proteins inside eukaryotic cells to ensure intracellular replication. Our …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic and versatile organelles present in most eukaryotic cells.
LDs consist of a hydrophobic core of neutral lipids, a phospholipid monolayer coat, and a …

Legionella pneumophila is an environmental bacterium, which replicates in amoeba but
also in macrophages, and causes a life-threatening pneumonia called Legionnaires' …
