Type I-F CRISPR-Cas Distribution and Array Dynamics in Legionella pneumophila

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
In bacteria and archaea, several distinct types of CRISPR-Cas systems provide adaptive immunity through broadly similar mechanisms: short nucleic acid sequences derived from foreign DNA, known as spacers, engage in complementary base pairing with ...

Stagnation arising through intermittent usage is associated with increased viable but non culturable Legionella and amoeba hosts in a hospital water system

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Hospital water systems are a significant source of Legionella, resulting in the potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease. One of the biggest challenges for Legionella management within these systems is that under unfavorable conditions Legionella ...

From Many Hosts, One Accidental Pathogen: The Diverse Protozoan Hosts of Legionella

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
The 1976 outbreak of Legionnaires' disease led to the discovery of the intracellular bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila. Given their impact on human health, Legionella species and the mechanisms responsible for their replication within host cells ...

Identifying the function of genes involved in excreted vesicle formation in Acanthamoeba castellanii containing Legionella pneumophila

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Legionella spp. can survive and replicate inside host cells such as protozoa and macrophages. After enough growth, Legionella is released from the host cells as free legionellae or Legionella-filled vesicles. The vesicles support Legionella to

Legionella colonisation in hot water systems in care homes from two Danish municipalities

open access: yesJournal of Water and Health, 2022
Legionnaires' disease is a serious health risk among the elderly. Water systems in care homes are therefore of particular interest. We investigated the levels of culturable Legionella in the hot water systems in care homes in two Danish municipalities ...

Legionella longbeachaeand Legionellosis [PDF]

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Reported cases of legionellosis attributable to Legionella longbeachae infection have increased worldwide. In Australia and New Zealand, L. longbeachae has been a known cause of legionellosis since the late 1980s. All cases for which a source was confirmed were associated with potting mixes and composts. Unlike the situation with other Legionella spp.,

Practical Applications of Secondary/Extractive Electrospray Ionization (SESI): A Versatile Tool for Real‐Time Chemical Analysis

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the 1980s, researchers discovered the remarkable ability of electrospray plumes to effectively ionize gas‐phase molecules via secondary ionization. Around 20 years later—coinciding with the ambient mass spectrometry revolution—secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) and extractive electrospray ionization (EESI) coupled to mass spectrometry

Premise plumbing bacterial communities in four European cities and their association with Legionella

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiomes, 2023
IntroductionLegionella species are Gram negative, facultative, intracellular bacteria found in natural and engineered water systems. Understanding the bacterial interactions underlying the success of Legionella in aquatic environments could be ...
