Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink? [PDF]
, 1999 Biofilms are emerging as an increasing problem as medical technology advances. Dental practice is no exception and interest in the role of biofilms within dental units as a possible source of cross-infection is intensifying. It is difficult to quantitate

Growth kinetics of environmental Legionella pneumophila isolated from industrial wastewater [PDF]
, 2020 Wastewater treatment plants are environmental niches for Legionella pneumophila, the most commonly identified causative agent of severe pneumonia known as Legionnaire's disease. In the present study, Legionella pneumophila's concentrations were monitored

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lower respiratory tract, commonly caused by infection and associated with substantial morbidity and healthcare utilization. The burden of pneumonia on healthcare is exacerbated by limited data on pathogenic causes and associated antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here, we conducted

Whole genome sequence analysis reveals the broad distribution of the RtxA type 1 secretion system and four novel putative type 1 secretion systems throughout the Legionella genus. [PDF]
, 2020 Type 1 secretion systems (T1SSs) are broadly distributed among bacteria and translocate effectors with diverse function across the bacterial cell membrane. Legionella pneumophila, the species most commonly associated with Legionellosis, encodes a T1SS at

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.Despite unprecedented medical advances, global healthcare is failing to deliver universal, equitable and quality care, vulnerable to surges in demand, and unsustainable. Here we describe a self‐reinforcing framework for rebuilding equitable and resilient health systems.

Bacterial exchange in household washing machines [PDF]
, 2015 Household washing machines (WMs) launder soiled clothes and textiles, but do not sterilize them. We investigated the microbial exchange occurring in five household WMs. Samples from a new cotton T-shirt were laundered together with a normal laundry load.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1950-1965, April 2026.ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular
