The zoonotic pathogen Coxiella burnetiiestablishes a unique intracellular niche within a lysosome-derived vacuole. Here Bird et al. undertook proteomic, cell biology and microbiology approaches to characterise this niche and the strategies employed by C. burnetii to maintain a balance between intracellular success and maintaining host cell homoeostasis.
