Legionella pneumophila pneumonia in South Eastern Sydney: diagnosis, prognosis and public health outcomes

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Legionellosis causes more severe disease than other aetiologies of community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP). Early recognition and treatment of Legionella pneumonia reduce mortality. Urinary antigen testing (UAT) has facilitated rapid and reliable diagnosis of Legionella pneumonia. Aims The aims of this study were as follows: (i) identify

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing clinches the diagnosis of Legionella pneumonia in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia: A case report and literature review

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Legionella pneumonia caused by Legionella pneumophila is a multi-system disease that is a life-threatening, acute, and severe form of pneumonia. L. pneumophila is widespread and the clinical manifestations of Legionella pneumonia are similar to those of ...

A Nutrient‐Responsive LuxR Regulator Orchestrates Effector Gene Expression Across the Legionella Genus

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
LexR1 is a LuxR‐type regulator that links nutrient sensing to effector gene expression in Legionella. Activated by a casamino acid‐derived ligand, LexR1 directly controls multiple effector genes using a conserved regulatory element present in numerous putative effectors across different Legionella species.

Severe Legionella pneumophila pneumonia treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO): A case report

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2019
Legionella pneumophila is an aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium, whose natural environment are aquatic reservoirs. The source of infection may be also tap water, fountains and air-conditioners. Among young people, it can cause only mild infections, however

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

Phenotypic expression of the gene‐for‐gene interaction in plant pathogenic bacteria: An implication for resistance to bacterial diseases by plants

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Plant pathogenic bacteria cause massive losses in agriculture and damage to natural plant habitats. Bacterial pathogens not only reduce crop production, but they also reduce crop quality by releasing toxins into the environment. Pathogenic bacteria that invade plant tissues must overcome the plant's defense mechanisms. Plants possess an innate

A Suspected Case of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Mycosis Associated With Exophiala dermatitidis

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
An 83‐year‐old man without asthma developed allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) associated with Exophiala dermatitidis. This case suggests that E. dermatitidis may be involved in ABPM. ABSTRACT Exophiala dermatitidis is a black fungus that can colonize the airways, but allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) associated with E.

Distribution of Virulence Genes and Sequence-Based Types Among Legionella pneumophila Isolated From the Water Systems of a Tertiary Care Hospital in India

Frontiers in Public Health, 2020
Background: Legionnaires' disease (LD) is a potentially fatal pneumonia predominantly caused by infection due to Legionella pneumophila although more than 50 other Legionella species are described. Water systems contaminated with Legionella spp.
