Seasonal Host Shifts for Legionella Within an Industrial Water‐Cooling System
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.Taxonomic profiling for Legionella (the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease) and protist hosts within a water cooling tower showed seasonal peaks for Legionella that were associated with taxonomic shifts in the protist community. Legionella frequency was tracked using amplicon sequencing (blue line) and serogroup profiling (red line).

Disseminated Infection with Balamuthia mandrillaris in a Dog [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2004 Bilateral chronic granulomatous nephritis and meningoencephalitis were diagnosed on necropsy of a 2-year-old male Great Dane dog. The causative agent was identified as Balamuthia mandrillaris, based on morphologic features, immunohistochemical staining, and deoxyribonucleic acid detection using the polymerase chain reaction with newly designed primer ...

Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications
iLABMED, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 148-157, June 2025.Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Balamuthia mandrillarisexhibits metalloprotease activities [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2006 Balamuthia mandrillaris is a recently identified protozoan pathogen that can cause fatal granulomatous encephalitis. However, the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of B. mandrillaris encephalitis remain unclear. Because proteases may play a role in the central nervous system (CNS) pathology, we used spectrophotometric, cytopathic and zymographic assays ...

Modelling dynamics between free‐living amoebae and bacteria
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2024.This review scrutinizes mathematical models designed to simulate the interactions between free‐living amoebae and bacteria. Identified gaps encompass (1) the necessity to tackle complexities such as spatial heterogeneity and population diversity; and (2) the essential understanding of the system.

Glucose metabolism in the pathogenic free‐living amoebae: Tempting targets for treatment development
Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 103, Issue 1, January 2024.Enzymes involved in glucose metabolism may be promising therapeutic targets for drug development against the pathogenic free‐living amoebae. Details about the enzyme sequence and structural properties make a compelling case for designing small molecule inhibitors that are specific to the amoebae and would not affect the host enzyme.AbstractPathogenic ...
