Abstract:
Legionella pneumophila is a facultative intracellular pathogen capable of entering and growing in a variety of phagocytic cells including free-living amoebae as well as alveolar macrophages and monocytes. A genetic analysis of L. pneumophila should facilitate the identification of bacterial factors that promote the intracellular lifestyle of this organism.
