ABSTRACT Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of a pneumonia termed Legionnaires’ disease. The facultative intracellular bacterium employs the Icm/Dot type IV secretion system (T4SS) and a plethora of translocated “effector” proteins to interfere with host vesicle trafficking pathways and e...
