, 2020 Legionella pneumophila is one of the main risks of water systems. Thermal treatment is considered to be one of the main control measures for the presence of the pathogen in pipe water. Even though there are a number of studies focused on the thermal inactivation of the microorganism, there is not a mathematical model predicting the effect of ...

Legionella pneumophila strain 130b evades macrophage cell death independent of the effector SidF in the absence of flagellin [PDF]
, 2017 International audienceThe human pathogen Legionella pneumophila must evade host cell death signaling to enable replication in lung macrophages and to cause disease. After bacterial growth, however, L.

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.

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.

Serotyping of Legionella Bacteria Isolated from Various Water Systems in the Central Anatolia Region
European Journal of Biology, 2022 Objective: Legionella bacteria are waterborne environmental pathogens that are considered a public health problem because they cause Legionnaires' disease, which is a nationally notifiable disease. Materials and Methods: Legionella analysis was performed

Two Pfam protein families characterized by a crystal structure of protein lpg2210 from Legionella pneumophila. [PDF]
, 2013 BackgroundEvery genome contains a large number of uncharacterized proteins that may encode entirely novel biological systems. Many of these uncharacterized proteins fall into related sequence families. By applying sequence and structural analysis we hope
