A plasmid in Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1980 Sixteen strains from the six serogroups of Legionella pneumophila were examined for the presence of extrachromosomal genetic elements by a modified cleared lysate procedure, dye-buoyant centrifugation, and agarose gel electrophoresis. Two strains, Atlanta-1 and Atlanta-2 from serogroup II, each contained a plasmid of cryptic function with a molecular ...

A new oligonucleotide microarray for detection of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Legionella spp. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Legionella pneumophila has been recognized as the major cause of legionellosis since the discovery of the deadly disease. Legionella spp. other than L. pneumophila were later found to be responsible to many non-pneumophila infections.

Nature Communications, 2020 Legionella pneumophila is a bacterial pathogen that utilises a Type IV secretion (T4S) system to inject effector proteins into human macrophages. Essential to the recruitment and delivery of effectors to the T4S machinery is the membrane-embedded T4 ...

The contamination of hospital water supply systems by Legionella pneumophila
Вестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов, 2021 The risk of severe infectious complications associated with provision of medical care continues to be a pressing issue in modern surgery. Legionella pneumophila, characterized by its wide distribution in water supply systems and is highly active in film ...

Innate Immunity to Legionella Pneumophila [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Innate immune cells, such as macrophages, are highly adapted to rapidly recognize infections by distinct pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. This recognition is mediated by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which are found in host cell surface membranes and the host cell cytoplasm.

Caspase Exploitation by Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Legionella pneumophila remains a major health concern, especially for hospitalized patients. L. pneumophila in the environment can survive extracellular or as protozoan parasite within amoeba. After human infection it efficiently replicates in alveolar macrophages without activating inflammasome assembly and cleavage of caspase-1.
