Recent years have witnessed significant advances in unraveling the elegant mechanisms by
which intracellular bacterial pathogens induce and/or block apoptosis, which can influence
disease progression. This intriguing aspect of the host–pathogen interaction adds another
fascinating dimension to our understanding of the exploitation of host cell biology by
intracellular bacterial pathogens.
