Abstract
Conceptual approaches in microbial pathogenesis studies have evolved quickly in the last 10 years, due to the development of cell biology. The merging of cell biology and microbial pathogenesis has been called cellular microbiology (Cossart et al. 1996), definitively sealing this seminal association.
