Many bacterial pathogens can cause acute infections that are cleared with the
onset of adaptive immunity, but a subset of these pathogens can establish
persistent, and sometimes lifelong, infections. While bacteria that cause chronic
infections are phylogenetically diverse, they share common features in their
interactions with the host that enable a protracted period of colonization. This
article will compare the persistence strategies of two chronic pathogens from the
Proteobacteria, Brucella abortus and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, to
consider how these two pathogens, which are very different at the genomic level,
can utilize common strategies to evade immune clearance to cause chronic
intracellular infections of the mononuclear phagocyte system.
