Differences in Virulence Between Legionella pneumophila Isolates From Human and...
Sousa, Patrícia S.; Silva, Inês N.; Moreira, Leonilde M; Veríssimo, António; Costa, JoanaLegionella pneumophila is a ubiquitous bacterium in freshwater environments and in many man-made water systems capable of inducing pneumonia in humans. Despite its ubiquitous character most studies on L. pneumophila virulence focused on clinical strains and isolates from man-made environments, so little is known about the nature and extent of virulence variation in strains isolated from natural environments. It...
The regulator LdhR and the d-lactate dehydrogenase LdhA of Burkholderia multivo...
Silva, Inês N.; Ramires, Marcelo J.; Azevedo, Lisa A.; Guerreiro, Ana R.; Tavares, Andreia C.; Becker, Jörg D.; Moreira, Leonilde M.LysR-type transcriptional regulators (LTTR) are the most commonly found regulators in Burkholderia cepacia complex, comprising opportunistic pathogens causing chronic respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Despite LTTRs being global regulators of pathogenicity in several bacteria, few have been characterized in Burkholderia Here, we showed that gene ldhR of B. multivorans encoding a LTTR is co...
