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.

Pathways of Protein Secretion in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, and Therapeutic Opportunities

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This graphical abstract delineates noncanonical protein secretion systems across eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Eukaryotic UcPS covers four ER–Golgi bypass pathways, enabling rapid leaderless protein export via direct transmembrane translocation or vesicle‐mediated release.

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 ...

Nanobodies: A Promising Toolkit for Diagnostic Applications

SmartMat, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review focuses on camelid‐derived nanobodies (VHHs) and explains how their small size and high stability support robust diagnostic design. Applications across ELISA, lateral flow assays, and PET/SPECT imaging are summarized, along with clinical progress such as caplacizumab.

Legionella Occurrence in Buildings: Implications of Public Water System Disinfectant and Residual

AWWA Water Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Legionella pneumophila is an opportunistic drinking water microorganism of serious health concern. Anticipated revisions to U.S. EPA's Microbial and Disinfection Byproduct Rules may propose a numeric minimum disinfectant residual—rather than the current “detectable”—in part to better control Legionella in drinking water distribution systems ...

How often is a work-up for Legionella pursued in patients with pneumonia? A retrospective study

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2011
Background It is unclear how often patients with pneumonia are assessed for Legionella in endemic areas. Additionally, the sensitivity of the IDSA/ATS criteria for recommended Legionella testing is undefined.

Pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir, tenofovir and lamivudine during venous–venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV‐ECMO): A case report

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 5, Page 1487-1492, May 2026.
While providing potentially life‐saving cardiorespiratory support for critically ill patients, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may detrimentally affect pharmacokinetic (PK) performance and concurrent drug efficacy and safety. We describe a patient with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in the context of acquired immunodeficiency ...
