<i>L. pneumophila</i> resists its self-harming metabolite HGA via secreted factors and collective peroxide scavenging

2023-05-11

Abstract excerpt

Many pathogenic bacteria, including Legionella pneumophila , infect humans from environmental reservoirs. To survive in these reservoirs, bacteria must withstand microbe-on-microbe competition. We previously discovered that L. pneumophila can compete with neighboring bacteria via an antimicrobial metabolite called homogentisic acid (HGA) (Levin, Goldspiel, and Malik 2019). Curiously, L. pneumophila strains that...
