Brief description This project will study how the bacterium that causes Legionnaire's disease survives and grows inside human cells. We have identified new bacterial proteins that allow Legionella to manipulate the normal host cell processes involved in killing an invading bacterium. Similar proteins are also present in the closely related organism, Coxiella, which causes Q-fever. By determining how these proteins act, this work may result in new treatments for Legionnaire's disease and related infections.
