Sažetak
Many pathogens exploit apoptosis, or programmed cell deth, making it an important factor in a wide assortment of infectious diseases. Legionella pneumophila, which ordinarily is found in aquatic environments, can cause a potentially fatal pneumonia, Legionnaires' disease, by taking control of apoptosis and other cellular processes in host macrophage cells. Although the apoptosis-related protease, caspase-3, is activated in L. pneumophila-infected macrophages, they do not self-destruct until bacterial replication is completed.
