Autophagy facilitates intracellular survival of pathogenic rickettsiae in macrophages via evasion of autophagosomal maturation and reduction of microbicidal pro-inflammatory IL-1 cytokine responses
ABSTRACT The genus Rickettsia is comprised of obligate intracellular bacterial parasites of a wide range of arthropod and vertebrate hosts. Some Rickettsia species (spp.) are responsible for serious human diseases globally. One interesting feature of these stealthy group of pathogens is their abilit...
