Peculiar Paramecium Hosts Fail to Establish a Stable Intracellular Relationship With Legionella pneumophila

Legionella pneumophila, an intracellular human pathogen, establishes intracellular relationships with several protist hosts, including Paramecium caudatum. L. pneumophila can escape the normal digestion process and establish intracellular relationships in Paramecium. In this study, we identify new P...
