Bacteria of the genus Legionella are natural pathogens of amoebae that can cause a severe
pneumonia in humans called Legionnaires' Disease. Human disease results from inhalation …

Pathogenic species of Legionella can infect human alveolar macrophages through
Legionella-containing aerosols to cause a disease called Legionellosis, which has two …

The pathogenicity of L. pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, depends
on an arsenal of interacting proteins. Here we describe how surface-associated and …

Legionella pneumophila is a gram‐negative bacteria found in natural and anthropogenic
aquatic environments such as evaporative cooling towers, where it reproduces as an …

Bacterial adhesion is a fundamental process which enables colonisation of niche
environments and is key for infection. However, in Legionella pneumophila, the causative …

Legionella are Gram-stain-negative rods associated with water environments: either natural
or man-made systems. The inhalation of aerosols containing Legionella bacteria leads to …

Legionella pneumophila is a facultative intracellular pathogen that uses the Dot/Icm Type IV
secretion system (T4SS) to translocate many effectors into its host and establish a safe …

Legionella pneumophila is defined as a bacterium that can cause severe pneumonia. It is
found in the natural environment and in water, and is often found in water tanks. It can be an …

Interbacterial antagonism involves all major phyla, occurs across the full range of ecological
niches, and has great significance for the environment, clinical arena, and agricultural and …

Bacterial effector proteins are secreted by a variety of protein secretion systems and play an
important role in the interaction between the host and pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, it is …
