Intracellular Growth of Legionella pneumophila Gives Rise to a Differentiated Form Dissimilar to Stationary-Phase Forms

When Legionella pneumophila grows in HeLa cells, it alternates between a replicative form and a morphologically distinct “cyst-like” form termed MIF (mature intracellular form). MIFs are also formed in natural amoebic hosts and to a lesser extent in macrophages, but they do not develop in vitro. Sin...
