During June 2012-September 2014, we tested patients with severe respiratory illness for Legionella spp. infection and conducted a retrospective epidemiologic investigation. Of 1,805 patients tested, Legionella was detected in samples of 21 (1.2%); most were adults who had HIV or tuberculosis infecti

Major differences in the transcriptional program underlying the phenotypic switch between exponential and post-exponential growth of Legionella pneumophila were formerly described characterizing important alterations in infection capacity. Additionally, a third state is known where the bacteria tran

… Previous work has shown that the obligate intracellular amoebal endosymbiont Neochlamydia S13, an environmental chlamydia strain, has an amoebal infection rate of 100%, but does not cause amoebal lysis and lacks transferability to other host amoebae. … In this study, we found that the host amoeba could completely evade Legionella infection. …

レジオネラは自然界では自由生活性アメーバを自然宿主とする, ありふれた細胞内寄生性細菌でありながら, 一旦ヒトに感染すると肺胞マクロファージに感染・増殖し, 最終的に重篤な肺炎を引き起こす。レジオネラの非常に広範囲の真核細胞中で生存・増殖できる能力を担うのは, レジオネラ全タンパク質の約一割を占めるエフェクタータンパク質群およびこれを輸送するIV 型分泌系である。本稿では我々の研究を中心に, レジ …

… This study tested the hypothesis that Tsp has a key function for the transmissive form of Legionella pneumophila. … A tsp mutant was generated in Legionella pneumophila 130b and the characteristics of this strain and the isogenic wild-type were examined using a range of growth and proteomic analyses. … pneumophila tsp mutant showed no defect in growth on rich media or during thermo-osmotic stress conditions. …
