This special topic will study the general characteristics of intracellular bacteria from both the microbial and host angle. The specific examples used will include Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. leprae, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersina spp., Legionella pneumophila and chlamydia. Discussions will focus on the advantages of an intercellular lifestyle, mechanisms of cell entry and survival and host defence and recognition mechanisms.
