A cofactor‐promiscuous HMGR from the Lyme disease pathogen illuminates diversity in bacterial isoprenoid biosynthesis

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi contains a highly reduced genome lacking many primary metabolic pathways. However, B. burgdorferi retains the mevalonate pathway that synthesizes isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), the precursor to the peptidoglycan carrier lipid.

Detection of Legionella Spp. in Water from Cooling Towers

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2012
Background: Legionella are Gram negative and non-spore bacteria which are found in various natural and manmade aquatic environments. Legionella can cause legionnaires' disease or Pontiac fever. Inhalation of aerosols from contaminated water sources leads

Bilateral Bloody Pleural Effusions With Discordant Cellular Patterns: A Case of Concurrent Parapneumonic Effusion and Dressler Syndrome

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
This case demonstrates a rare concurrent presentation of parapneumonic effusion and Dressler syndrome, which presented as bilateral bloody pleural effusions with discordant cellular profiles. The bloody nature was possibly exacerbated by the concomitant use of a direct oral anticoagulant and aspirin.

Metagenomics Reveals Microbial Community Shifts Associated With Contrasting Anthropogenic Impacts in Freshwater Sources of A Coastal Protected Area in Southeastern Brazil

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 9, September 2026.
Metagenomics revealed distinct anthropogenic signatures in the microbiome of freshwater sources on Marambaia Island, supported by the Anthropogenic Impact Index (AII). Impacted sites showed lower microbial diversity, enrichment of fecal‐associated taxa, and 14 antimicrobial resistance genes, whereas conductivity, salinity, and turbidity explained 88.1%

Correlation between bacterial microbiome and Legionella species in water from public bath facilities by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing

Microbiology Spectrum
Public bath facilities are a major source of Legionella infections in Japan. In this study, we performed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to characterize the bacterial community in bath and shower water from public bath facilities, along with chemical ...

Legionella spp. isolation and quantification from greywater

MethodsX, 2015
Legionella, an opportunistic human pathogen whose natural environment is water, is transmitted to humans through inhalation of contaminated aerosols. Legionella has been isolated from a high diversity of water types. Due its importance as a pathogen, two

Molecular detection of Legionella: moving on from mip

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2010
The detection of Legionella pneumophila in environmental and clinical samples is frequently performed by PCR amplification of the mip and/or 16S rRNA genes. Combined with DNA sequencing, these two genetic loci can be used to distinguish different species
