“…In macrophages, the maturation of the B. cenocepacia-containing vacuole (BcCV) is altered, as revealed by decreased acidification and delayed fusion with lysosomes (Lamothe et al, 2007) and Rab7 inactivation (Huynh et al, 2010). Also, intracellular infection by B. cenocepacia induces Rac1 inactivation (Flannagan et al, 2012;Rosales-Reyes et al, 2012), delayed assembly of NADPH oxidase complex onto the BcCV membrane (Keith et al, 2009;Rosales-Reyes et al, 2012) and downregulation of the autophagy pathway (Abdulrahman et al, 2011).…”
