Genome Sequence of Legionella anisa, Isolated from a Respiratory Sample, Using an Amoebal Coculture Procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Legionella anisa is a gammaproteobacterium from the class Legionellaceae, which is responsible for nosocomial pneumonia. We sequenced the genome from the L. anisa strain Linanisette, which was recovered from a clinical sample using an amoebal coculture procedure but not with standard culture methods.

Genome Sequence of Legionella massiliensis, Isolated from a Cooling Tower Water Sample
We present the draft genome sequence of Legionella massiliensis strain LegA(T), recovered from a cooling tower water sample, using an amoebal coculture procedure. The strain described here is composed of 4,387,007 bp, with a G+C content of 41.19%, and its genome has 3,767 protein-coding genes and 60 predicted RNA genes.
متن کاملIsolation of Legionella anisa using an amoebic coculture procedure.
Conventional diagnostic tests for legionellosis were negative for a 61-year-old immunocompromised man with pneumonia. However, coculture of a sputum sample with Acanthamoeba polyphaga amoebae led to the recovery of Legionella anisa. This procedure may be a sensitive and convenient diagnostic method, especially for non-Legionella pneumophila species infections that can be diagnosed only by culture.
متن کاملIsolation of Legionella pneumophila from pluvial floods by amoebal coculture.
Viable Legionella pneumophila bacteria were isolated by amoebal coculture from pluvial floods after intense rainfall and from water collected at sewage treatment plants. Several isolated L. pneumophila strains belonged to sequence types that have been previously identified in patients.
متن کاملBiodiversity of amoebae and amoeba-resisting bacteria in a hospital water network.
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous organisms that have been isolated from various domestic water systems, such as cooling towers and hospital water networks. In addition to their own pathogenicity, FLA can also act as Trojan horses and be naturally infected with amoeba-resisting bacteria (ARB) that may be involved in human infections, such as pneumonia. We investigated the biodiversity of...

UNLABELLED Garden soils were investigated as reservoirs and potential sources of pathogenic Legionella bacteria. Legionella bacteria were detected in 22 of 177 garden soil samples (12%) by amoebal coculture. Of these 22 Legionella-positive soil samples, seven contained Legionella pneumophila Several other species were found, including the pathogenic Legionella longbeachae (4 gardens) and Legion...
