A note on legionellas in whirlpools
Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1985Water samples from 52 whirlpools (jacuzzi), water temperature 35–40°C, and from 50 swimming pools, water temperature 8–30°C, were investigated for the presence of Legionella pneumophila. This was isolated from 11 of 28 whirlpools with free available chlorine less than 0.3 mg/1.

Legionella metalloendopeptidase
2004Publisher Summary This chapter describes the structural chemistry and the biological aspect of Legionella metalloendopeptidase. The secretion of the metalloproteinase by Legionella is dependent upon a type II general secretion pathway. Deletion of several of the seven genes in this pathway blocks secretion of the enzyme, and this prevents growth in ...

Legionella is the sole genus of the family Legionellaceae. It is composed of many species and serogroups and following 16S rRNA analysis it now belongs to the gamma-2 subgroup of the class Proteobacteria. Legionellae have an absolute requirement for iron and utilize amino acids for energy rather than carbohydrates.

LEGIONELLA AND THE CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGIST
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1993Legionella species are important etiologic agents of sporadic and epidemic community-acquired and nosocomial respiratory disease. The list of species continues to expand, and tools for classification and characterization of isolates have become increasingly sophisticated.

Autecology of Legionella pneumophila
Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. 1. Abt. Originale. A, Medizinische Mikrobiologie, Infektionskrankheiten und Parasitologie, 1983Species of Legionella are readily isolated from freshwater aquatic habitats throughout the United States, which are diverse in their physical and chemical parameters. Temperature studies indicate that Legionella is not present in habitats with temperatures above 63 degrees C, and isolates have been obtained from frozen rivers.

Control of Legionella in hospitals
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1986Legionellas are present in water distribution systems and cooling towers of many hospitals. No firm data are available regarding the need for prophylactic disinfection of these contaminated systems. Disinfection of water systems and cooling towers is an accepted and effective means of ending nosocomial Legionnaires' disease, but it should be performed ...

Legionella in hospitals: a review
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1991Although epidemics of nosocomial Legionnaires' disease attract great attention, up to 30% of sporadic cases of hospital-acquired pneumonia are caused by legionellae. Legionellae are ubiquitous contaminants of potable water and can achieve high numbers in the hot-water systems of large buildings such as hospitals.

Descriptions of newly recognized infectious diseases of man and the subsequent isolations and characterizations of the etiological agents have—during the past few decades—been confined largely to diseases caused by viruses. The list of newly described arboviruses grows annually and almost logarithmically; interspersed are other newly isolated and ...
