| distribution of secretion systems in the genus legionella and its correlation with pathogenicity. | the genus legionella comprises over 60 species, which are important human pathogens. secretion systems in legionella pneumophila have been studied extensively because of the essential role of protein secretion in bacterial infection. however, there are few reports describing the secretion systems in non-l. pneumophila species. in this study, we analyzed the distribution of secretion systems in l. pneumophila and 18 species of non-l. pneumophila based on whole genome sequences. a total of 74 whol ... | 2017 | 28352254 |
| galleria mellonella apolipophorin iii - an apolipoprotein with anti-legionella pneumophila activity. | the greater wax moth galleria mellonella has been exploited worldwide as an alternative model host for studying pathogenicity and virulence factors of different pathogens, including legionella pneumophila, a causative agent of a severe form of pneumonia called legionnaires' disease. an important role in the insect immune response against invading pathogens is played by apolipophorin iii (apolp-iii), a lipid- and pathogen associated molecular pattern-binding protein able to inhibit growth of some ... | 2014 | 25016052 |
