From Many Hosts, One Accidental Pathogen: The Diverse Protozoan Hosts of Legionella
The 1976 outbreak of Legionnaires' disease led to the discovery of the intracellular bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila. Given their impact on human health, Legionella species and the mechanisms responsible for their replication within host cells are often studied in alveolar macrophages, the primary human cell type associated with disease. Despite the potential severity of individual ca...

teria, often in response to contacting host cells or host Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology factors (often called “contact-mediated” secretion) (reDepartment of Microbiology and Immunology viewed by Hueck, 1998). Remarkably, type III systems University of British Columbia also transport specific virulence factors directly into Vancouver, British Columbia host cells, acting as a s...
متن کاملHow many guests, what sort of hosts?
To the Editor: Lansing et al. (1) offer an intriguing approach to the prehistory of the island of Sumba. There is at least one critical f law in the reasoning used, the assumption that the languages of Sumba form a subgroup, being all derived from a single ancestral language, Proto-Sumba. The comparative method used by the authors allows us to subgroup languages together if two criteria are met...
متن کاملNew records and hosts of the Curvularia species in Iran
In present study, eight isolates of the genus Curvularia, recovered from plants of the cowpea, maize and bottlebrush in Khuzestan province, were identified based on molecular phylogeny in combination with morphology. The mycelial biomass of the isolates, produced in potato-dextrose-Broth, were collected by passing through filter papers and freeze-dried. DNA was extracted using a phenol...
متن کاملThe genomic sequence of the accidental pathogen Legionella pneumophila.
We present the genomic sequence of Legionella pneumophila, the bacterial agent of Legionnaires' disease, a potentially fatal pneumonia acquired from aerosolized contaminated fresh water. The genome includes a 45-kilobase pair element that can exist in chromosomal and episomal forms, selective expansions of important gene families, genes for unexpected metabolic pathways, and previously unknown ...
