Presence of Legionellaceae in warm water supplies and typing of strains by polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
, 2001 Outbreaks of Legionnaire's disease present a public health challenge especially because fatal outcomes still remain frequent. The aim of this study was to describe the abundance and epidemiology of Legionellaceae in the human-made environment.

Cytosolic recognition of flagellin by mouse macrophages restricts Legionella pneumophila infection. [PDF]
, 2006 To restrict infection by Legionella pneumophila, mouse macrophages require Naip5, a member of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain leucine-rich repeat family of pattern recognition receptors, which detect cytoplasmic microbial products.

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

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.

Cas9 beyond CRISPR – SUMOylation, effector‐like potential and pathogenic adaptation
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.This Viewpoint explores the possibility that Cas9, beyond its canonical role in CRISPR immunity, may act as a host‐modulating effector during infection by Cas9‐encoding bacteria. Such a nucleomodulin‐like function could be influenced by eukaryotic post‐translational modifications, particularly SUMOylation, with potential implications for host–pathogen ...

Characterization of avirulent mutant Legionella pneumophila that survive but do not multiply within human monocytes. [PDF]
, 1987 Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, is a Gram-negative bacterium and a facultative intracellular parasite that multiplies in human monocytes and alveolar macrophages. In this paper, mutants of L.

Occupational risk for Legionella infection among dental healthcare workers: meta-analysis in occupational epidemiology [PDF]
, 2017 Objective The occupational risk for Legionella infection among dental healthcare workers (DHCWs) is conjectured because of the risk of routine inhalation of potentially contaminated aerosols produced by the dental instruments.
