We therefore hope that this comparison of a bacterial and a fungal pathogen provides a useful example of how to approach the bewildering complexity of intracellular pathogenic strategies.

Various microbes, including several human pathogens, hijack the cell’s skeleton, membranes, and protein-making machinery to make themselves at home. Intracellular bacteria use various tricks to ...

The research team shows for the first time that intracellular bacteria known as symbionts protect their host against viruses. Amoebae are protists, i.e. single-celled microorganisms with a cell ...

Cells have developed a range of defences against intracellular bacteria, Professor Bedoui said. "The rapid death of infected cells is an important protective strategy against intracellular bacteria.

Researchers at UC Davis Health have discovered a signaling mechanism that allows bacteria like Salmonella to evade destruction by the host’s immune system. Intracellular bacteria like Salmonella ...

Carmen Buchrieser, head of the Biology of the intracellular bacteria research unit at the Institut Pasteur and researcher at CNRS, says, "This is an important discovery as our results showcase a ...

MOSCOW, October 30. /TASS/. A team of researchers from Russia’s Siberian Federal University (SFU) have simulated an intracellular environment of luminescent bacteria using glycerol and sucrose ...
