There is, however, substantial evidence that T-cell-deficient mice are capable of surviving a L. monocytogenes challenge. Recently, advances have been made in our understanding of the cell biology and pathogenesis of infection.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae has classically been considered an extracellular (or membrane-associated) organism. Nevertheless, the recently elucidated genomic structure of this pathogen strongly suggest that this organism may have been subjected to the process of reductive genetic evolution which is charac
