Abstract excerpt
Legionella pneumophila (Lp) is a waterborne bacterium able to infect human alveolar macrophages, causing Legionnaires' disease. Lp can survive for several months in water, while searching for host cells to grow in, such as ciliates and amoeba. In Lp, the sigma factor RpoS is essential for survival in water. A previous transcriptomic study showed that RpoS positively regulates the small regulatory RNA Lpr10. In...
