Biodiversity of amoebae and amoeba-resisting bacteria in a hospital water network.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Apr 2006

Thomas Vincent, Herrera-Rimann Katia, Blanc Dominique S, Greub Gilbert

Abstract excerpt

Free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous organisms that have been isolated from various domestic water systems, such as cooling towers and hospital water networks. In addition to their own pathogenicity, FLA can also act as Trojan horses and be naturally infected with amoeba-resisting bacteria (ARB) that may be involved in human infections, such as pneumonia. We investigated the biodiversity of bacteria and their...
