Molecular characterization of
BMC Microbiology, 2010 Background Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of human Legionnaire's disease. During infection, the bacterium invades macrophages and lung epithelial cells, and replicates intracellularly.

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 28, 6 July 2026.A simple, rapid, and portable gold‐coated filter tip‐based assay (GFTA) is developed for bacterial detection. The GFTA leverages cleavable functional nucleic acid probes as molecular recognition elements to target RNase H2, a highly conserved bacterial endoribonuclease, enabling sensitive and specific colorimetric detection of bacterial pathogens ...

Legionella pneumophila-Derived Outer Membrane Vesicles Promote Bacterial Replication in Macrophages. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2016 The formation and release of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) is a phenomenon of Gram-negative bacteria. This includes Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila), a causative agent of severe pneumonia. Upon its transmission into the lung, L.

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

Serospecific antigens of Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1986 Serospecific antigens isolated by EDTA extraction from four serogroups of Legionella pneumophila were analyzed for their chemical composition, molecular heterogeneity by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and immunological properties. The antigens were shown to be lipopolysaccharides and to differ from the lipopolysaccharides of

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.Bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs) emerge as promising platforms for cancer immunotherapy owing to their intrinsic adjuvant properties and tunable cargo delivery capabilities. Their ability to modulate the tumor microenvironment, enhance antitumor immune responses, and support personalized therapeutic strategies highlights their growing potential as ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Phospholipid N‐methyltransferases (Pmts) synthesize phosphatidylcholine in many bacteria. In this study, we compared the catalytic mechanisms of two bacterial Pmt classes: the Rhodobacter (R‐) and the Sinorhizobium (S‐) type. Representative enzymes for each class were derived from Rubellimicrobium thermophilum and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ...

Covalent Coercion by Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2011 Adenylylation of Rab proteins appears to be an intriguing mechanism that Legionella pneumophila uses to modulate their activity during infection. Now the reverse reaction (deadenylylation) (Neunuebel et al., 2011; Tan and Luo, 2011) and a new posttranslational modification (phosphocholination) of Rab1 (Mukherjee et al., 2011) have been reported.
