Abstract
Pathogenic microbes exploit the host cytoskeleton for entry, colonization, and intracellular survival in eukaryotic cells. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Kumar and Valdivia (2008) report that Chlamydia trachomatis co-opts host actin and intermediate filaments to form a dynamic scaffold providing structural integrity to the chlamydial vacuole and minimizing immune detection.Entities:
