MHC I of the Great Reed Warbler Promotes a Flat Peptide Binding Mode

Immunology, EarlyView.
In this article we present the X‐ray structure of MHC I from the great reed warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus (Acar3) a long‐distance migratory songbird. Structural analysis in combination with genetic analyses shows that MHC I binds the peptide antigen in a flat conformation due to a sequentially well‐conserved restriction point, acting like a pair of

Bacterial exchange in household washing machines [PDF]

, 2015
Household washing machines (WMs) launder soiled clothes and textiles, but do not sterilize them. We investigated the microbial exchange occurring in five household WMs. Samples from a new cotton T-shirt were laundered together with a normal laundry load.

Validation of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification-Based Kit for the Detection of Legionella pneumophila in Environmental Samples According to ISO/TS 12869:2012

Microorganisms
Legionella pneumophila is a freshwater opportunistic pathogen and the leading cause of severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires’ disease. It can be found in all water systems and survives in biofilms, free-living amoebae, and a wide variety of facilities ...

Comparison of Legionella Biofilm Formations at Three Different Temperatures in Liquid Flow, in Static Liquid and on Agar Plate

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2011
The biofilm formation of Legionella pneumophila on glass was examined under nutrient water flow condition at 37°C, 40°C, and 42°C. The three-dimensional structures of 8-days biofilm were analyzed using confocal laser scanning microscopy.

Nanostructured Biosensor Based on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Antimicrobial Peptide Temporin‐PTA for Bacterial Detection

Electroanalysis, Volume 37, Issue 10, October 2025.
A nanostructured electrochemical biosensor was developed by assembling MWCNTs with the antimicrobial peptide Temporin‐PTA. The platform enables rapid bacterial detection within 5 min, differentiates Gram‐negative from Gram‐positive pathogens, and achieves a low detection limit of 10 CFU/mL.

Death or survival from invasive pneumococcal disease in Scotland: associations with serogroups and multilocus sequence types [PDF]

, 2011
We describe associations between death from invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and particular serogroups and sequence types (STs) determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) using data from Scotland.

Perfoliate Pondweed Meadows in Northern Coastal Areas—Reservoirs of Diverse Bacteria With Pathogenic Traits and Complex Carbon Metabolism

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
The perfoliate pondweed, Potamogeton perfoliatus, is a common macrophyte in freshwater and subarctic coastal areas. This species builds extensive meadows that play a role as a filter removing nutrients traversing from land to sea and maintaining essential ecosystem functions.

LotA, a Legionella deubiquitinase, has dual catalytic activity and contributes to intracellular growth

Cellular Microbiology, 2018
The intracellular bacterial pathogen, Legionella pneumophila, establishes the replicative niche as a result of the actions of a large array of effector proteins delivered via the Legionella Type 4 secretion system.
