Mitochondria and Bacterial Pathogens, Volume 374, Part A. Mitochondria control various processes that are integral to cellular and organismal homeostasis, including Ca2+ fluxes, bioenergetic metabolism, and cell death. Perhaps not surprisingly, multiple pathogenic bacteria have evolved strategies to subvert mitochondrial functions in support of their survival and dissemination. In the IRCMB volume 375, the authors discus different pathogenic mechanisms that converge on the ability of bacteria to control the mitochondrial compartment of host cells.
- Collection of articles reporting the role of mitochondria during bacterial infection
- Mitochondria, the evolutionary successors of an ancient endosymbiotic prokaryote, occupy a central position in the biology of modern eukaryotic cells
- Numerous pathogenic bacteria have evolved strategies to subvert the mitochondrial functions of host cells in support of proliferation and dissemination

Saverio Marchi
Saverio Marchi obtained his PhD in ‘Pharmacology and Molecular Oncology’ from University of Ferrara (Italy), under the supervision of Prof. Rosario Rizzuto, where he investigated the role of Ca2+ signalling and mitochondrial dynamics in cancer. He did a short term research stay at the Gustave Roussy Institute (Paris, France) in the Guido Kroemer’s lab, for the study of the mechanisms of autophagy regulation. On 2011 he joined the Laboratory of Dr. Paolo Pinton at the University of Ferrara (Italy) where he carried out his postdoctoral studies. During his postdoctoral training, he studied the implications of Endoplasmic Reticulum-mitochondria connection in diseases, especially cancer. In 2014, he was the recipient of the Young Researcher award, which allowed him to work at the Cancer Center, University of Hawai’i (Prof. Michele Carbone’s lab), where he was introduced to the study of the signalling pathways regulating mesothelioma progression. Now, he is associate professor at the Marche Polytechnic University, where he leads his own group. He is interested in the involvement of the MCU complex and mitochondrial Ca2+ in the evolution of cancer. More recently, he has become interested in the alteration of mitochondrial dynamics during bacterial infection.
He published 77 papers on “peer-reviewed” journals (h-index: 41; n° of citations > 5800. Source: Scopus).
