Insights From the Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium paragordonae, a Potential Novel Live Vaccine for Preventing Mycobacterial Infections: The Putative Role of Type VII Secretion Systems for an Intracellular Lifestyle Within Free-Living Environmental Predators

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Mycobacterium paragordonae (Mpg) is a temperature-sensitive Mycobacterium species that can grow at permissive temperatures but fails to grow above 37°C. Due to this unique growth trait, Mpg has recently been proposed as a novel live vaccine candidate for

Relationships between Free-Living Amoeba and their Intracellular Bacteria

open access: yes, 2017
An increasing number of bacteria have been described as benefiting from interaction with free-living amoeba. The most common association between free-living amoeba and microorganisms is interaction of various non-pathogenic and pathogenic bacterial ...

Development of a high- versus low-pathogenicity model of the free-living amoeba Naegleria fowleri

open access: yes, 2012
Species in the genus Naegleria are free-living amoebae of the soil and warm fresh water. Although around 30 species have been recognized, Naegleria fowleri is the only one that causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) in humans.

Pathogenic free-living amoebae

open access: yesThe Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1990
Studies on pathogenic free-living amoebae performed in Korea were briefly reviewed. One strain of Naegleria fowleri was isolated from the sewage, and 3 strains of Acanthamoeba culbertsoni from a reservoir and the gill of fish. They were identified by morphological characteristics. Three strains among the 4 were experimentally proved pathogenic to cause

Spores of the Large Free-living Amoebae [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1956
IN the course of some experiments on Amoebae suggested to me by Dr. P. Couillard of Brussels, I have discovered an easy method of procuring clean spores, newly hatching and developing specimens of the large free-living Amoebae (proteus, lescherae, discoides, kerrii).
