Rainfall is a risk factor for sporadic cases of Legionella pneumophila pneumonia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
It is not known whether rainfall increases the risk of sporadic cases of Legionella pneumonia. We sought to test this hypothesis in a prospective observational cohort study of non-immunosuppressed adults hospitalized for community-acquired pneumonia ...

Temporal and Spatial Survey on the Abundance of Amoebae and Bacteria in an Estuary and the Role of Environmental Parameters. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Free‐living amoebae and bacteria were monitored along a salinity gradient over 1 year. Naegleria and Vibrio were the most represented genera, with salinity and dissolved oxygen identified as key factors structuring amoebae diversity and associated bacterial communities under changing environmental conditions.

Serotyping of Legionella Bacteria Isolated from Various Water Systems in the Central Anatolia Region

European Journal of Biology, 2022
Objective: Legionella bacteria are waterborne environmental pathogens that are considered a public health problem because they cause Legionnaires' disease, which is a nationally notifiable disease. Materials and Methods: Legionella analysis was performed

First evidence of free-living Naegleria species in recreational lakes of Alberta, Canada

Journal of Water and Health, 2023
Rising temperatures are increasing environmental habitats for thermotolerant pathogens, such as the so-called ‘brain-eating amoeba’, Naegleria fowleri. To the best of our knowledge, however, Naegleria species have not been reported in environmental water

Legionella hijacks the host Golgi-to-ER retrograde pathway for the association of Legionella-containing vacuole with the ER

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila) is a gram-negative bacterium that replicates in a compartment that resembles the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To create its replicative niche, L.

Early Detection of Legionella pneumophila and Aspergillus by mNGS in a Critically Ill Patient With Legionella Pneumonia After Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Treatment: Case Report and Literature Review

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Legionella pneumophila can cause pneumonia, leading to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Because of its harsh growth requirements, limited detection methods, and non-specific clinical manifestations, diagnosing Legionella pneumonia ...

Prevalence and genetic distribution of Legionella spp. in public bath facilities in Kobe City, Japan

Journal of Water and Health, 2023
Legionella is an important waterborne pathogen that causes legionellosis. Public baths are considered the primary cause of legionellosis infection in Japan. We investigated the prevalence and genetic distribution of 338 Legionella spp.

Hydrobionts and Plants as Alternative Hosts for Sapronosis Pathogens

Эпидемиология и вакцинопрофилактика, 2020
Relevance. Specific epidemiology of sapronotic (soilborne, waterborn) bacteria is characterized from the ecological point of view. The characteristic feature of soil-borne, water-born pathogens is an ability to exist autonomously in the environment. Aims.

Legionella and Biofilms—Integrated Surveillance to Bridge Science and Real-Field Demands

Microorganisms, 2021
Legionella is responsible for the life-threatening pneumonia commonly known as Legionnaires’ disease or legionellosis. Legionellosis is known to be preventable if proper measures are put into practice. Despite the efforts to improve preventive approaches,
