Intracellular bacteria

Intracellular bacteria are bacteria that have the capability to enter and survive within the cells of the host organism.[1] These bacteria include many different pathogens that live in the cytoplasm and nuclei of the host cell's they inhabit. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an example of an intracellular bacterial species.[2] There are two types of intracellular bacteria: facultative intracellular bacteria, which can grow extracellularly or intracellularly, and obligate intracellular bacteria, which can grow only intracellularly.[3]
