The genus Legionella belongs to Gram‐negative bacteria found ubiquitously in aquatic
habitats, where it grows in natural biofilms and replicates intracellularly in various protozoa …

Systemic infection induces conserved physiological responses that include both resistance
and 'tolerance of infection'mechanisms. Temporary anorexia associated with an infection is …

The Gram-negative bacterium Legionella pneumophila is ubiquitous in freshwater
environments as a free-swimming organism, resident of biofilms, or parasite of protozoa. If …

The importance of host-specialization to speciation processes in obligate host-associated
bacteria is well known, as is also the ability of recombination to generate cohesion in …

Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, an acute
pulmonary infection. L. pneumophila is able to infect and multiply in both phagocytic …

A hallmark of Coxiella burnetii, the bacterial cause of human Q fever, is a biphasic
developmental cycle that generates biologically, ultrastructurally, and compositionally …

Host cell-free (axenic) culture of Coxiella burnetii in acidified citrate cysteine medium-2
(ACCM-2) has provided important opportunities for investigating the biology of this naturally …

The Gram-negative bacterium, Legionella pneumophila, is a protozoan parasite and
accidental intracellular pathogen of humans. We propose a model in which cycling through …

Second generation sequencing has prompted a number of groups to re-interrogate the
transcriptomes of several bacterial and archaeal species. One of the central findings has …

Legionella pneumophila is a ubiquitous environmental bacterium that thrives in fresh water
habitats, either as planktonic form or as part of biofilms. The bacteria also grow intracellularly …
