Importance of type II secretion for survival of Legionella pneumophila in tap water and in amoebae at low temperatures.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Sept 2008

Söderberg Maria A, Dao Jenny, Starkenburg Shawn R, Cianciotto Nicholas P

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila type II secretion mutants showed reduced survival in both tap water at 4 to 17 degrees C and aquatic amoebae at 22 to 25 degrees C. Wild-type supernatants stimulated the growth of these mutants, indicating that secreted factors promote low-temperature survival. There was a correlation between low-temperature survival and secretion function when 12 additional Legionella species were examined.
