Molecular characterization of Legionella pneumophila-induced interleukin-8 expression in T cells

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.

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.

Toward understanding the catalytic mechanism for two classes of bacterial phospholipid N‐methyltransferases

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 ...

Cytomegalovirus in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid: A Predictor of Outcome in Immunocompromised Patients

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a prevalent herpesvirus that remains typically asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals but can cause severe, potentially life‐threatening disease in immunocompromised patients. This study assessed the impact of CMV‐associated lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR ...

Molecular detection of Legionella: moving on from mip

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2010
The detection of Legionella pneumophila in environmental and clinical samples is frequently performed by PCR amplification of the mip and/or 16S rRNA genes. Combined with DNA sequencing, these two genetic loci can be used to distinguish different species
