Legionella pneumophila strain associated with the first evidence of person-to-person transmission of Legionnaires’ disease: a unique mosaic genetic backbone [PDF]
, 2016 A first strong evidence of person-to-person transmission of Legionnaires' Disease (LD) was recently reported. Here, we characterize the genetic backbone of this case-related Legionella pneumophila strain ("PtVFX/2014"), which also caused a large outbreak

How Does Biological Sex Impact Mucosal Bacterial Infection? Mucosal Defenses and Bacterial Detection
Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Urinary tract infections possess substantial sex disparities in the incidence, immune response, and progression of infection. Some of these distinctions may be due to sexual dimorphism in mucosal barriers or sex differences in the initial immune response to infection.

Phagocytosis of Legionella pneumophila is mediated by human monocyte complement receptors. [PDF]
, 1987 We have examined receptors mediating phagocytosis of the intracellular bacterial pathogen, Legionella pneumophila. Three mAbs against the type 3 complement receptor (CR3), which recognizes C3bi, inhibit adherence of L.

Microbial and Chemical Drivers of Indoor Air Quality in Educational Environments
Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Indoor air quality (IAQ) in educational facilities is shaped by a dynamic interplay of microbial, chemical and physical factors, all of which influence health and cognitive performance. This study explored IAQ in university classrooms by combining microbiological, chemical and physical measurements to better understand microbial–chemical interactions ...

Rainfall is a risk factor for sporadic cases of Legionella pneumophila Pneumonia [PDF]
, 2013 It is not known whether rainfall increases the risk of sporadic cases of Legionella pneumonia. We sought to test this hypothesis in a prospective observational cohort study of non-immunosuppressed adults hospitalized for community-acquired pneumonia ...

Metal–Organic Framework‐Based Antimicrobial Touch Surfaces to Prevent Cross‐Contamination
Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 52, December 29, 2025.A MOF‐based antimicrobial door handle cover is developed. It completely inhibits the cross‐contamination of Gram‐positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis), Gram‐negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii), and fungi (Candida albicans). Abstract Infection diseases
