Polyphosphates Attenuate Interleukin‐12 Production in Macrophages Infected With Legionella pneumophila

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Legionella pneumophila infection leads to the release of pathogen‐associated molecular patterns, which recruits the adaptor protein MYD88, initiating both activating (e.g., NF‐κB) and inhibitory (e.g., PI3K/AKT) signaling pathways that regulate IL‐12 gene expression.

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 11, Page 1589-1604, June 2026.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

The Contribution of Chemistry to the Detection and Enumeration of Legionella pneumophila in Environmental Water Samples: Experience With the MICA Method

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Legionella pneumophila is the principal species responsible for Legionnaires' disease, and measuring microbial load is fundamental to the analysis of environmental water samples. This study compared a new lipopolysaccharide bioprobe method (Microcolony Counter Analysis), which detects and counts L.

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Triggered by Legionella pneumophila and SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection in GATA2 Deficiency

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Germline GATA2 deficiency predisposes to bone marrow failure, myeloid neoplasia, and immune dysregulation. The syndrome is often complicated by infection with intracellular pathogens and viruses, autoimmunity, and inflammation. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare occurrence that can present further management challenges.
