Assessment of antibiotic susceptibility of Legionella pneumophila isolated from water systems in Poland [PDF]
Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2017 Introduction and objective Several studies have reported therapy failures in patients with legionnaires’disease; however, antimicrobial resistance of clinical and environmental isolates of Legionella spp. has not yet been documented.

Legionella control in water systems using copper and silver ion generation systems [PDF]
, 2012 Legionella can cause human disease which can be fatal. Routine monitoring for Legionella in water systems is not recommended by UK authorities. Evidence of the efficacy of control modalities against Legionella in these water systems is, therefore, not

Detection of protozoan hosts for Legionella pneumophila in engineered water systems by using a biofilm batch test [PDF]
, 2010 Legionella pneumophila proliferates in aquatic habitats within free-living protozoa, 17 species of which have been identified as hosts by using in vitro experiments. The present study aimed at identifying protozoan hosts for L.

Genetic characterization of Legionella pneumophila isolated from a common watershed in comunidad Valenciana, Spain [PDF]
, 2013 Legionella pneumophila infects humans to produce legionellosis and Pontiac fever only from environmental sources. In order to establish control measures and study the sources of outbreaks it is essential to know extent and distribution of strain variants

The amoebal MAP kinase response to Legionella pneumophila is regulated by DupA [PDF]
, 2009 The amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum can support replication of Legionella pneumophila. Here we identify the dupA gene, encoding a putative tyrosine kinase/dual-specificity phosphatase, in a screen for D.

alpha-Hydroxyketone Synthesis and Sensing by Legionella and Vibrio [PDF]
, 2012 Bacteria synthesize and sense low molecular weight signaling molecules, termed autoinducers, to measure their population density and community complexity. One class of autoinducers, the α-hydroxyketones (AHKs), is produced and detected by the water-borne

Quantification of viable Legionella pneumophila cells using propidium monoazide combined with quantitative PCR. [PDF]
, 2011 One of the greatest challenges of implementing fast molecular detection methods as part of Legionella surveillance systems is to limit detection to live cells. In this work, a protocol for sample treatment with propidium monoazide (PMA) in combination
