Cytoplasmic access by intracellular bacterial pathogens

Highlights • Novel technological developments allow tracking of vacuolar rupture and show that more bacterial pathogens contact the host cytoplasm. • Both bacterial and host factors work together to achieve vacuole escape for most vacuole-rupturing pathogens. • Cytosolic contact elicits different ho...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Novel technological developments allow tracking of vacuolar rupture and show that more bacterial pathogens contact the host cytoplasm. • Both bacterial and host factors work together to achieve vacuole escape for most vacuole-rupturing pathogens. • Cytosolic contact elicits different host cellular responses, including autophagy and cell death. • Host cell responses to cytoplasmic bacteria have consequences for both the pathogen and the whole organism.
