Comparison of Legionella Biofilm Formations at Three Different Temperatures in Liquid Flow, in Static Liquid and on Agar Plate

open access: yesJournal 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.

Rapid Serological Detection of Anti‐GM‐CSF Autoantibodies in Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Using a Novel Immunochromatographic Test

open access: yesRespirology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 184-192, February 2026.
We developed a novel ICT with high clinical performance that can distinguish APAP patients from those with other pulmonary diseases. The rapid and simple detection of GMAbs in serum provided a new practical method for the diagnosis of APAP. See related editorial ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Anti‐GM‐CSF autoantibodies (GMAbs) are essential ...

Validation of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification-Based Kit for the Detection of Legionella pneumophila in Environmental Samples According to ISO/TS 12869:2012

open access: yesMicroorganisms
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 ...

Detection and Genetic Diversity of Heritable Bacterial Symbionts in Human Lice Based on 16S‐rRNA Gene

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Candidatus Riesia pediculicola and Wolbachia were found in 79.6% and 95.2% of head lice, and 81.8% and 100% of body lice. Candidatus Riesia pthiripubis and Wolbachia appeared in 41.7% and 75% of pubic lice. Maximum‐likelihood 16S‐rRNA phylogeny revealed substantial heterogeneity within symbiont populations. ABSTRACT Human lice are obligate bloodsucking

The Burden of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Children With Acute Otitis Media: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesInfluenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Acute otitis media (AOM) affects over 709 million individuals globally each year, more than half of whom are children < 5 years. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading viral cause of pediatric respiratory illness. We aimed to estimate the burden of RSV in children < 5 years with AOM Methods We performed a systematic review ...

Type III Secretion Effectors with Arginine N-Glycosyltransferase Activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Type III secretion systems are used by many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens to inject proteins, known as effectors, into the cytosol of host cells. These virulence factors interfere with a diverse array of host signal transduction pathways and cellular

Fruit function beyond dispersal: effect of fruit decomposition on the plant microbiome assembly

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1442-1455, February 2026.
Summary The evolutionary role of fruits has primarily been linked to seed dispersal. However, their influence on the soil and plant microbiomes subsequent to their decomposition has received no attention. We hypothesized that fruit decomposition alters the soil microbiome, and consequently the plant microbiome and performance.
