A Reflective Verbalization Strategy to Trigger Alternative Diagnostic Hypotheses

Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, Volume 31, Issue 6, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Rationale Physicians sometimes encounter various types of gut feelings (GFs) during clinical diagnosis. The type of GF addressed in this paper refers to the intuitive sense that the generated hypothesis might be incorrect. An appropriate diagnosis cannot be obtained unless these GFs are articulated and inventive solutions are devised.

Is a Proactive Approach to Controlling Legionella in the Environment Justified?

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2021
Research background. Legionella are Gram-negative bacteria that are ubiquitous in the natural environment. Contaminated water in man-made water systems is a potential source of transmission of legionnaires’ disease.

Seasonal Host Shifts for Legionella Within an Industrial Water‐Cooling System

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.
Taxonomic profiling for Legionella (the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease) and protist hosts within a water cooling tower showed seasonal peaks for Legionella that were associated with taxonomic shifts in the protist community. Legionella frequency was tracked using amplicon sequencing (blue line) and serogroup profiling (red line).

Legionella pneumophila modulates the host cytoskeleton by an effector of transglutaminase activity

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 232-248, June 2025.
Abstract The bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila delivers more than 330 effector proteins into host cells through its Dot/Icm type IV secretion system (T4SS) to facilitate its intracellular replication. A number of these effectors modulate organelle trafficking pathways to create a membrane‐bound niche called the Legionella‐containing vacuole ...

The Molecular Toolbox for Linkage Type‐Specific Analysis of Ubiquitin Signaling

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 10, May 27, 2025.
Ubiquitin modifications regulate virtually all aspects of eukaryotic cell biology through an array of polyubiquitin chain signals that adopt distinct structures, enabling the individual polyubiquitin linkages to mediate specific functions in cells.

Diagnostic testing for Legionnaires’ disease

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2017
Legionnaires’ disease is commonly diagnosed clinically using a urinary antigen test. The urinary antigen test is highly accurate for L. pneumophila serogroup 1, however other diagnostic tests should also be utilized in conjunction with the urinary ...
