Coxiella burnetii, the known causative agent of Q fever, is an obligate intracellular bacterium capable of infecting host alveolar macrophages and residing within these cells for several years. While causing mild symptoms at...
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium responsible for causing culture negative endocarditis. The manifestation of this condition several years following initial infection exhibits Coxiella’s ability to...
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen and a causative agent of culture-negative endocarditis. While Coxiella initially infects alveolar macrophages, it may disseminate and cause endocarditis up to 20...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are important nuclear receptors in regulating macrophage lipid metabolism and modulating cellular inflammatory responses. In recent years, host cell PPARs have been linked to...
