Phagocytosis of Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1990 In this review we consider both phagocytosis of Legionella by phagocytes of the animal defence system and their ingestion by actively feeding ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Necrotrophic Growth of Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2006 ABSTRACT This study examined whether Legionella pneumophila is able to thrive on heat-killed microbial cells (necrotrophy) present in biofilms or heat-treated water systems. Quantification by means of plate counting, real-time PCR, and flow cytometry demonstrated necrotrophic growth of L ...

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 ...
