cellular response to bacterium

[slaulederkind]

I would like to see “cellular response to bacterium” added to GO under the parent term “response to bacterium” (GO:0009617). The definition could be something like “Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from a bacterium.” Example: PMID:28259042

Hi @slaulederkind

There are some existing terms about cellular responses to specific bacterial molecules, so here is a proposal for where I think this new term might fit:

GO:0009617 response to bacterium
-GO:NEW cellular response to bacterium
--GO:0071219 cellular response to molecule of bacterial origin
---GO:0071220 cellular response to bacterial lipoprotein
---GO:0071222 cellular response to lipopolysaccharide
---GO:0071223 cellular response to lipoteichoic acid
---GO:0071224 cellular response to peptidoglycan

See: http://amigo.geneontology.org/amigo/term/GO:0071219

@ukemi - given #12849 are we okay with adding a new cellular-level response term?

[ukemi]

I think we might want to hold off on the new cellular level-term until after the GOC meeting.

[slaulederkind]

Waiting until after the meeting is fine.

Okay, thank you both.
I've added GOC meeting and pending labels so we don't lose track of this issue.
