A MicroRNA Network Controls Legionella pneumophila Replication in Human Macrophages via LGALS8 and MX1

Cases of Legionella pneumophila pneumonia occur worldwide, with potentially fatal outcome. When causing human disease, Legionella injects a plethora of virulence factors to reprogram macrophages to circumvent immune defense and create a replication niche. By analyzing Legionella-induced changes in m...
