The unique <i>Legionella longbeachae</i> capsule favors intracellular replication and immune evasion

2023-11-22

Abstract excerpt

Legionella longbeachae and Legionella pneumophila cause Legionnaires’ disease despite species-specific differences in environmental niches, disease epidemiology, and genomic content. Here, we characterized a new L. longbeachae virulence factor, a capsule that is expressed in post-exponential growth phase as shown by electron microscopy. Analysis of the capsule composition via HLPC revealed the presence of a hig...
