Methodologies for Quantifying Culturable, Viable, and Total Legionella Pneumophila in Indoor Air

, 2012
Legionella pneumophila, aerosolized from numerous indoor facilities (e. g ., shower heads, hot tubs, spas), may cause Pontiac fever (PF) and lethal pneumonia named Legionnaires' disease (LD) in humans. Reliable methods on quantitative exposure assessment

Detection ofLegionella pneumophilain bioaerosols by polymerase chain reaction

, 2001
Most studies focusing on detecting microorganisms in air by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have used a liquid impinger to sample bioaerosols, mainly because a liquid sample is easy to be processed by PCR analysis.

Domestic Drinking Water Systems as Source of Legionella Pneumophila Infections in Latvia

Legionella are heterotrophic bacteria commonly living in natural waters. Our aim was to study occurrence of Legionella contamination in potable water supply systems in apartment and public buildings. Moreover, correlation between Legionella spp. positive

THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEGIONELLA PNEUMOPHILA REACHES DIFFERENT END POINTS IN AMOEBAE, MACROPHAGES AND CILIATES

, 2013
The intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila thrives in both natural and man-made water habitats where it replicates inside freshwater amoebae. L. pneumophila follows a developmental cycle as it grows in amoebae.
