Legionella pneumophila is a major cause of sporadic and epidemic community- and hospital -acquired pneumonia (CAP and HAP) that leads to frequent deaths worldwide. To cause these diseases, L. pneumophila has to interact with the pulmonary epithelial surface of the lung, which is known not only to be a mechanical barrier against invading pathogens, but also to play an important role in innate immunity. Thus, it is essential to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying this interaction. The present work will give an overview on the pathogenesis of L. pneumophila-induced pulmonary infections. Focus will be put on mechanisms of target cell activation via putative host cell receptors. Furthermore activated signal transduction pathways in L....
