| occurrence of infected amoebae in cooling towers compared with natural aquatic environments: implications for emerging pathogens. | many species of bacteria pathogenic to humans, such as legionella, are thought to have evolved in association with amoebal hosts. several novel unculturable bacteria related to legionella have also been found in amoebae, a few of which have been thought to be causes of nosocomial infections in humans. because amoebae can be found in cooling towers, we wanted to know whether cooling tower environments might enhance the association between amoebae and bacterial pathogens of amoebae in order to ide ... | 2006 | 17181001 |
