AI Article Synopsis

  • Intracellular bacteria like Chlamydiales, Anaplasma, and Bartonella rely on remaining inside their host to grow and spread to new hosts.
  • These bacteria have evolved various strategies to avoid detection and destruction by the host's immune system.
  • The methods these bacteria use to persist can have significant effects on the overall health of the infected host.

Article Abstract

Intracellular bacteria, such as Chlamydiales, Anaplasma or Bartonella, need to persist inside their host in order to complete their developmental cycle and to infect new hosts. In order to escape from the host immune system, intracellular bacteria have developed diverse mechanisms of persistence, which can directly impact the health of their host.
