Legionnaires’ Disease: Clinicoradiological Comparison of Sporadic Versus Outbreak Cases
Clinical Medicine Insights: Circulatory, Respiratory and Pulmonary Medicine, 2017 Background: In 2015, New York City experienced the worst outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in the history of the city. We compare patients seen during the 2015 outbreak with sporadic cases of Legionella during the past 5 years.

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 ...

Reclamation of ampicillin sensitivity for the genetic manipulation of Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
, 2012 Research on Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, has been hampered due to the lack of selectable markers for genetic manipulation. We report the construction of a mutant strain of L.
