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

Septic Arthritis Caused by Legionella dumoffii in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus-Like Disease [PDF]
, 2011 We describe a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-like disease on immunosuppressive treatment who developed septic arthritis of the knee involving Legionella dumoffii. Cultures initially remained negative. A broad-range 16S PCR using synovial

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.

Global analysis of gene expression reveals mRNA superinduction is required for the inducible immune response to a bacterial pathogen. [PDF]
, 2017 The inducible innate immune response to infection requires a concerted process of gene expression that is regulated at multiple levels. Most global analyses of the innate immune response have focused on transcription induced by defined immunostimulatory ...

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.
