Legionella longbeachae wound infection: case report and review of reported Legionella wound infections

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Extrapulmonary manifestations of infection with Legionella species, of which 24 may cause disease in humans, are very rare. Here, we describe a case of a 61-year-old woman with no history of immunosuppression presenting with pain and swelling of her ...

A Portable Colorimetric Device for Rapid Bacterial Detection with Cleavable Functional Nucleic Acid Probes for A Common Bacterial Endoribonuclease

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A simple, rapid, and portable gold‐coated filter tip‐based assay (GFTA) is developed for bacterial detection. The GFTA leverages cleavable functional nucleic acid probes as molecular recognition elements to target RNase H2, a highly conserved bacterial endoribonuclease, enabling sensitive and specific colorimetric detection of bacterial pathogens ...

Characterisation of Legionella Clinical Isolates in Spain from 2012 to 2022

Microorganisms
Although cases of Legionnaires’ disease are notifiable, data on the phenotypic and genotypic characterisation of clinical isolates are limited. This retrospective study aims to report the results of the characterisation of Legionella clinical isolates in

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

G3: 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 ...

Streamlining antibiotic use in community acquired pneumonia: A quality improvement initiative

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence suggests a 3‐day total duration and early transition to oral therapy is safe in hospitalized patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP)—though such care is not standard in the United States. To implement these evidence‐based practices, a multidisciplinary group led by a hospitalist and antimicrobial stewardship ...
