Occupational risk for Legionella infection among dental healthcare workers: meta-analysis in occupational epidemiology [PDF]
, 2017 Objective The occupational risk for Legionella infection among dental healthcare workers (DHCWs) is conjectured because of the risk of routine inhalation of potentially contaminated aerosols produced by the dental instruments.

Dynamics and impact of homologous recombination on the evolution of Legionella pneumophila
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Legionella pneumophila is an environmental bacterium and the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease. Previous genomic studies have shown that recombination accounts for a high proportion (>96%) of diversity within several major disease-associated ...

Electroanalysis, Volume 37, Issue 10, October 2025.A nanostructured electrochemical biosensor was developed by assembling MWCNTs with the antimicrobial peptide Temporin‐PTA. The platform enables rapid bacterial detection within 5 min, differentiates Gram‐negative from Gram‐positive pathogens, and achieves a low detection limit of 10 CFU/mL.

Extracellular enzymes of Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1981 All strains of Legionella pneumophila tested produced detectable levels of extracellular protease, phosphatase, lipase, deoxyribonuclease, ribonuclease, and beta-lactamase activity. Weak starch hydrolysis was also demonstrated for all strains. Elastase, collagenase, phospholipase C, hyaluronidase, chondroitinase, neuraminidase, or coagulase were not ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.Free‐living amoebae and bacteria were monitored along a salinity gradient over 1 year. Naegleria and Vibrio were the most represented genera, with salinity and dissolved oxygen identified as key factors structuring amoebae diversity and associated bacterial communities under changing environmental conditions.

Coxiella burnetii Blocks Intracellular Interleukin-17 Signaling in Macrophages [PDF]
, 2018 Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiological agent of Q fever. Successful host cell infection requires the Coxiella type IVB secretion system (T4BSS), which translocates bacterial effector proteins across the vacuole ...

Legionella affects biofilm structural response to detachment upon shear stress increase
BiofilmPoor hydraulic management at water systems is associated with an increased risk of Legionnaires' disease caused by Legionella. Stagnation periods, followed by sudden water flow, can promote biofilm detachment and the release of Legionella into the bulk ...
