The Contribution of Chemistry to the Detection and Enumeration of Legionella pneumophila in Environmental Water Samples: Experience With the MICA Method. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenLegionella pneumophila is the principal species responsible for Legionnaires' disease, and measuring microbial load is fundamental to the analysis of environmental water samples. This study compared a new lipopolysaccharide bioprobe method (Microcolony Counter Analysis), which detects and counts L.

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Triggered by <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> and SARS-CoV-2 Infection in GATA2 Deficiency. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Germline GATA2 deficiency predisposes to bone marrow failure, myeloid neoplasia, and immune dysregulation. The syndrome is often complicated by infection with intracellular pathogens and viruses, autoimmunity, and inflammation. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare occurrence that can present further management challenges.

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.

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.

Sessile Legionella pneumophila is able to grow on surfaces and generate structured monospecies biofilms [PDF]
, 2010 Currently, models for studying Legionella pneumophila biofilm formation rely on multi-species biofilms with low reproducibility or on growth in rich medium, where planktonic growth is unavoidable.
