Isolation and characterisation of bacteriophages infecting Legionella spp

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Legionella spp. are waterborne pathogens that can cause Legionnaires' disease, a potentially fatal acute pneumonia. These pathogens can be resistant to many disinfectants and thermal treatments. Furthermore, detection of Legionella spp. is often difficult. Thus, infections with these organisms can be difficult to both diagnose and treat. Bacteriophages are a potential tool to be exploited to aid in the elimination...
