A nutritional immunity blockade controls extracellular bacterial replication in Legionella pneumophila infections.

A. Torres-Escobar, A. Wilkins, M. D. Juarez-Rodriguez, M. Circu, B. Latimer, A.-M. Dragoi, S. S. Ivanov

This study shows that Legionella pneumophila can replicate extracellularly when host nutritional immunity is blocked, particularly through iron overload or absence of Transferrin.

The intracellular growth of the vacuolar pathogen Legionella pneumophila is dependent on the acyl chain composition of host membranes

A. Wilkins, B. Schwarz, A. Torres-Escobar, R. Castore, L. Landry, B. Latimer, E. Bohrnsen, C. M. Bosio, A.-M. Dragoi, S. S. Ivanov

This study shows that Legionella pneumophila replication depends on host membrane acyl chain composition, with palmitoleic acid promoting membrane disorder and enhancing bacterial growth.
