An outbreak of a potentially fatal form of pneumonia in 1976 and in the annual convention of
the American Legion was the first time that Legionella spp. was identified. Thereafter, the …

Understanding the actual distribution of different Legionella species in water networks would
help prevent outbreaks. Culture investigations followed by serological agglutination tests …

The identification and typing of bacteria are very expensive and time-consuming due to their
growth times, and the expertise needed. MALDI-TOF MS represents a fast technique …

The research used bacterial biosensors containing bacterial luciferase genes to monitor
changes in the environment in real-time. In this work to express four different gene …

Two Legionella-like strains isolated from hot water distribution systems in 2012 have been
characterized phenotypically, biochemically and genomically in terms of DNA relatedness …

Climate change is projected to cause alterations in northern coastal systems, including
humification and intensified nutrient loads, which can lead to ecosystem imbalances and …

Two Legionella-like isolates, 8cVS16T and 9fVS26, were isolated from a water distribution
system (WDS) in a healthcare facility. Cells were Gram-and Ziehl Neelsen-stain-negative …

Legionella surveillance plays a significant role not only to prevent the risk of infection but
also to study the ecology of isolates, their characteristics, and how their prevalence changes …

The hidden presence of opportunistic bacterial pathogens in the environment invokes
concerns about emerging diseases, especially in the light of climate change. The co …
