Legionella pneumophila strain 130b evades macrophage cell death independent of the effector SidF in the absence of flagellin [PDF]
International audienceThe human pathogen Legionella pneumophila must evade host cell death signaling to enable replication in lung macrophages and to cause disease. After bacterial growth, however, L.

Sessile Legionella pneumophila is able to grow on surfaces and generate structured monospecies biofilms [PDF]
Currently, models for studying Legionella pneumophila biofilm formation rely on multi-species biofilms with low reproducibility or on growth in rich medium, where planktonic growth is unavoidable.

Chemical characterization of lipopolysaccharides from Legionella feeleii, Legionella hackeliae and Legionella jordanis [PDF]
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Legionella feeleii serogroup 1, L. hackeliae serogroup 1 and L. jordanis were subjected to chemical analysis. All three LPS contained D-mannose, D-glucose, D-glucosamine, L-glycero-D-manno-heptose, 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid and glycerol. In addition the LPS of L.

Cluster of legionnaires’ disease in an Italian prison [PDF]
Background: Legionella pneumophila (Lp) is the most common etiologic agent causing Legionnaires’ Disease (LD). Water systems offer the best growth conditions for Lp and support its spread by producing aerosols.
