Q fever is an infectious zoonotic disease, caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Coxiella
burnetii. Transmission occurs from livestock to humans through inhalation of a survival form …

The ability to genetically manipulate a pathogen is fundamental to discovering factors
governing host–pathogen interactions at the molecular level and is critical for devising …

Coxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of the zoonotic disease Q fever, which is featured by
its ability to replicate in acid vacuoles resembling the lysosomal network. One key virulence …

Population heterogeneity can promote bacterial fitness in response to unpredictable
environmental conditions. A major mechanism of phenotypic variability in the human gut …

Coxiella burnetii is a bacterial pathogen that replicates within host cells by establishing a
membrane-bound niche called the Coxiella-containing vacuole. Biogenesis of this …

Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular bacterium that causes acute and chronic Q fever. This
unique pathogen has been historically challenging to study due to obstacles in genetically …

Q fever is caused by the pathogen Coxiella burnetii and is a zoonosis that naturally infects
goats, sheep, and cats, but can also infect humans, birds, reptiles, or arthropods. A survey …

Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by the intracellular pathogen Coxiella burnetii. This
disease typically manifests as a self-limiting, febrile illness known as acute Q fever. Due to …

Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular, gram-negative bacterium that causes the zoonosis Q
fever. This disease typically presents as an acute flu-like illness with persistent, focalized …

Inhibition of host cell apoptosis is crucial for survival and replication of several intracellular
bacterial pathogens. To interfere with apoptotic pathways, some pathogens use specialized …
