چکیده

Macrophages from A/J and BALB/c mice were more susceptible to Coxiella burnetii phase II infection than were those from C57BL/6, C57BL/10, B10.A, C3H/HePas, and Swiss mice. Resistant macrophages effectively controlled the development of large replication vacuoles (LRVs), which accounted for the restriction of bacterial multiplication within the cultures. However, compared to fibroblasts, all macrophages controlled bacterial multiplication within LRVs.

Mouse resident peritoneal macrophages partially control in vitro infection with Coxiella burnetii phase II.

Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever in man and of coxiellosis in other species, is a small, dimorphic, obligate intracellular bacterium, sheltered within large, acidified, and hydrolase-rich phagosomes. Although several primary and established cell lines, macrophage-like cells, and primary macrophages from other species have been infected with C. burnetii, the infection of mouse primary mac...

Coxiella burnetii alters cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase signaling during growth in macrophages.

Coxiella burnetii is the bacterial agent of human Q fever, an acute, flu-like illness that can present as chronic endocarditis in immunocompromised individuals. Following aerosol-mediated transmission, C. burnetii replicates in alveolar macrophages in a unique phagolysosome-like parasitophorous vacuole (PV) required for survival. The mechanisms of C. burnetii intracellular survival are poorly d...

Coxiella burnetii inhibits apoptosis in human THP-1 cells and monkey primary alveolar macrophages.

Coxiella burnetii, the cause of human Q fever, is an aerosol-borne, obligate intracellular bacterium that targets host alveolar mononuclear phagocytic cells during infection. In all cell types examined, C. burnetii establishes a replicative niche in a lysosome-like parasitophorous vacuole where it carries out a lengthy infectious cycle with minimal cytopathic effects. The persistent and mild na...

Acidification modulates the traffic of Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes in Vero cells harbouring Coxiella burnetii vacuoles.

We studied the fate of different Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigote forms after they invade Vero cells persistently colonised with Coxiella burnetii. When the invasion step was examined we found that persistent C. burnetii infection per se reduced only tissue-culture trypomastigote invasion, whereas raising vacuolar pH with Bafilomycin A1 and related drugs, increased invasion of both metacyclic a...

Coxiella burnetii effector proteins that localize to the parasitophorous vacuole membrane promote intracellular replication.

The intracellular bacterial pathogen Coxiella burnetii directs biogenesis of a parasitophorous vacuole (PV) that acquires host endolysosomal components. Formation of a PV that supports C. burnetii replication requires a Dot/Icm type 4B secretion system (T4BSS) that delivers bacterial effector proteins into the host cell cytosol. Thus, a subset of T4BSS effectors are presumed to direct PV biogen...
