Dive into the heart of an infection

An exceptional dive into the heart of a cell infected by Shigella, the bacterium responsible for dysentery.

How does a bacterium manage to infiltrate our cells and cause a serious illness? Using cutting-edge imaging techniques, Léa SWISTAK, a former researcher in Jost Enninga's laboratory at the Institut Pasteur, takes us behind the scenes of a cellular infection.

This spectacular visual dive provides a better understanding of the invasion strategies of certain pathogens - a crucial advance for developing new therapeutic avenues against bacterial infections.
