Intracellular Bacteria Flashcards
1
Q
which are the obligate intracellular pathogens
A
Chlamydia, Rickettsia
2
Q
which are the facultative intracellular pathogens
A
Listeria, Neisseria, Enterics, Mycobacter, Bacilli, Legionella
3
Q
how does intracellular pathogenesis work
A
intracellular pathogens use infected macrophages for transport around the body and they can evade humoral and innate immunity like actin based cell-cell motility
4
Q
how do T3SS systems assist with intracellulars
A
they enhance phagocytosis by the target cell type or they alter the endosome so that it fails to fuse with the lysosome
