Coiling phagocytosis has previously been studied only with the bacteria Legionella pneumophila and Borrelia burgdorferi, and the results were inconsistent. To learn more about this unconventional phag
Genes of S. pneumoniae of which transposon mutants showed attenuated or enhanced survival and/or growth in human saliva, categorized by functional class. (XLSX)
Type I strains of Toxoplasma gondii exhibit phenotypic variation, but it is uncertain how differently type I strains modulate the host cell. We determined differential host modulation by type I strain
Increasing evidence indicates that bacterial quorum sensing (QS) signals are important mediators of immunomodulation. However, whether microbes utilize these immunomodulatory signals to maintain infec
