What is it about?

Legionnaires’ disease is a severe pneumonia caused by the bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila. The main pathogenesis system of this bacterium is a syringe like device which translocates effector proteins from the bacterial cell into the host cell. We identified and characterized a new regulatory protein which coordinates the expression of effector proteins during infection.
