Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• Successful intracellular parasitism is dependent on the pathogen-driven control of the biogenesis and maturation of the vacuole, allowing the establishment of a replication permissive niche.
• A key to t 31e he adaptation of Hpt as a mediator of Listeria intracellular parasitism is its PrfA dependency.
• One important aspect of understanding the molecular basis of intracellular parasitism is the development of molecular genetic techniques to complement cellular and biochemical studies.
• The extensive metabolic capacity of C burnetii suggests that its obligate intracellular parasitism is a highly evolved state rather than a degenerate condition.
• It appears that the basis of the obligate intracellular parasitism is due to a lack of ATP-generating ability and the need to obtain ATP from the host cell.
