Legionella pneumophila sequence type 1/Paris pulsotype subtyping by spoligotypingChristophe Ginevra
Address correspondence to Christophe Ginevra
J Clin Microbiol 50:696-701. 2012....
Intragenic tandem repeat variation between Legionella pneumophila strainsDavid A Coil
Laboratory of Bacteriology, Rega Institute for Medical Research, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Minderbroedersstraat 10, B 3000 Leuven, Belgium
BMC Microbiol 8:218. 2008..Evidence exists from other organisms that these repeats can be involved in the evolution of new genes, gene regulation, adaptation, resistance to environmental stresses, and avoidance of the immune system...
Host-related risk factors and clinical features of community-acquired legionnaires disease due to the Paris and Lorraine endemic strains, 1998-2007, FranceChristophe Ginevra
Faculte Laennec, Universite de Lyon, Lyon, France
Clin Infect Dis 49:184-91. 2009..Here, we investigated possible host factors associated with susceptibility to community-acquired Legionnaires disease caused by the endemic Paris and Lorraine strains...
Evaluation of a nested-PCR-derived sequence-based typing method applied directly to respiratory samples from patients with Legionnaires' diseaseChristophe Ginevra
Universite de Lyon, Lyon, France
J Clin Microbiol 47:981-7. 2009..Taken together, NPSBT applied directly to clinical specimens significantly improved epidemiological typing compared to the initial SBT, in particular when no isolates are available...
Evaluation of propidium monoazide (PMA) treatment directly on membrane filter for the enumeration of viable but non cultivable Legionella by qPCRSami Slimani
Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon, France
J Microbiol Methods 88:319-21. 2012..Using this method, the amplification of DNA from membrane-damaged L. pneumophila was strongly inhibited for samples containing a small number of dead bacteria...
Identification of legionella in clinical samplesSophie Jarraud
National Reference Center of Legionella, Centre de Biologie Est, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon, France
Methods Mol Biol 954:27-56. 2013..This chapter is limited to the identification of Legionella in clinical samples; antibody detection in human serum will not be discussed...
A PCR-based method for monitoring Legionella pneumophila in water samples detects viable but noncultivable legionellae that can recover their cultivabilityEric Dusserre
Universite de Lyon, Lyon, France
Appl Environ Microbiol 74:4817-24. 2008..Therefore, some TVC-positive bacteria were potentially infective. These data show that L. pneumophila PCR detects not only culturable bacteria but also VBNC forms and dead bacterial DNA at low chlorine concentrations...
Zinc-dependent cytoadherence of Legionella pneumophila to human alveolar epithelial cells in vitroDiaraf Farba Yaradou
Universite de Lyon, Lyon F 69008, France
Microb Pathog 43:234-42. 2007..We also found that zinc-dependent adherence of L. pneumophila appears to involve recognition of zinc-binding pneumocyte receptors by a bacterial adhesin, and heparan-sulfated host cell receptors, but not type IV pili...
Growth-phase-dependent mobility of the lvh-encoding region in Legionella pneumophila strain ParisAnne Doléans-Jordheim
INSERM, E0230, Lyon, F 69008, France
Microbiology 152:3561-8. 2006..A similar plasmid-like element was described in the Lens strain genome, suggesting that the mobility of the lvh region is a phenomenon widespread among Legionella sp...
