Cytotoxicity of extracellular Legionella pneumophila [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1994
Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaire's disease and Pontiac fever, is known to produce a cytopathic effect on macrophages. The capacity of extracellular L. pneumophila to mediate toxicity for guinea pig peritoneal macrophages and J774 mouse macrophages was assessed.

Pathways of Protein Secretion in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, and Therapeutic Opportunities

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This graphical abstract delineates noncanonical protein secretion systems across eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Eukaryotic UcPS covers four ER–Golgi bypass pathways, enabling rapid leaderless protein export via direct transmembrane translocation or vesicle‐mediated release.

Legionella affects biofilm structural response to detachment upon shear stress increase

Biofilm
Poor hydraulic management at water systems is associated with an increased risk of Legionnaires' disease caused by Legionella. Stagnation periods, followed by sudden water flow, can promote biofilm detachment and the release of Legionella into the bulk ...

Legionella Occurrence in Buildings: Implications of Public Water System Disinfectant and Residual

AWWA Water Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Legionella pneumophila is an opportunistic drinking water microorganism of serious health concern. Anticipated revisions to U.S. EPA's Microbial and Disinfection Byproduct Rules may propose a numeric minimum disinfectant residual—rather than the current “detectable”—in part to better control Legionella in drinking water distribution systems ...
