Legionella pneumophila (Lp) is an ubiquitous environmental bacterium responsible for infections associated with human activities. Inhalation of aerosols from contaminated man-made freshwater sources are the main source of infection. Higher levels of Lp are associated with water stagnation and biofilm formation, cooling-towers, air-conditioning devices and bathroom showerheads represent the most common sources.

Abstract . Background . Multiple studies have shown a positive relationship between weather events and, 1 to 2 weeks later, Legionnaires’ disease (LD) cases. Narrowing this time window of association can help determine whether the mechanism linking rainfall and relative humidity to sporadic LD is direct or indirect. Due to the large number of daily water interactions and low incidence of LD, we propose a new Bayesian modeling approach to disentangle the potential for a direct vs.

…36 patients with RTI of all age groups were enrolled and tested for nine common pathogens: influenza A virus (Flu-A), influenza B virus (Flu-B), parainfluenza virus (PIV), Adenovirus (AAV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Q fever Rickettsiae (Q Fever), Legionella pneumophila (L. pne), Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. pne), and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pne). . . . Results.

. Abstract. . Background. For patients with pneumonia, the rapid detection of pathogens is still a major global problem in clinical practice because traditional diagnostic techniques for infection are time-consuming and insensitive. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a novel technique that has the potential to improve pathogen diagnosis.

…relationship with their host tends to stabilize. However, host-bacteria relationships may be heavily influenced by environmental changes. Here, we review these effects on one of the most ancient and diverse endosymbiotic groups, formed by - among others - Legionellales, Francisellaceae, and Piscirickettsiaceae. This group is referred to as Deep-branching Intracellular Gammaproteobacteria (DIG), whose last common ancestor presumably emerged about 2 Ga ago.

… cases where bacterial culture results were negative, nucleic acid extraction was performed for PCR to assay for the above-mentioned eight bacteria, as well as L. pneumophila and M. pneumoniae. Additionally, urine specimens were exclusively used to detect Legionella antigens. Furthermore, epidemiological, demographic, and clinical data were obtained from electronic medical records. . . .

(1) Molecular tests play a crucial role in the diagnostic field of atypical respiratory pathogens (Chlamydia pneumoniae, Chlamydia psittaci, Coxiella burnetii, Legionella pneumophila and Mycoplasma pneumoniae), since they are typically not detected with standard diagnostic methods.

…0.46; 95% CI: 0.30–0.69) decreased per 1° C temperature rise, while Pseudomonas aeruginosa (RR = 1.04; 95% CI: 1.03–1.05) and Legionella pneumophila infections (RR = 2.69; 95% CI: 1.11–6.53) increased. . . Conclusions. Temperature sensitivity of respiratory infections can vary with the specific pathogen type and subtype that causes the infection. As the climatic conditions will become warmer, public health policy makers should act to develop pathogen adaptation strategies. . . .

…etween 13 September and 23 October 2022. A spatial source identification and wind direction model suggested an industrial (iWWTP) and a municipal WWTP (mWWTP) as potential sources, with the first discharging water into the latter. Both tested positive for Legionella pneumophila serogroups 1 and 6 with multiple sequence types (ST). We detected L. pneumophila sg1 ST42 in the mWWTP, matching with one of three available clinical isolates. Following control measures at the WWTPs, no further cases were observed.
