Toxoflavin secreted by Pseudomonas alcaliphila inhibits growth of Legionella pneumophila and its host Vermamoeba vermiformis

This study identifies Pseudomonas alcaliphila as a potential inhibitor of Legionella pneumophila growth through toxoflavin production, which also affects its host Vermamoeba vermiformis.

Local adaptation of Legionella pneumophila within a hospital hot water system increases tolerance to copper

This study shows that Legionella pneumophila isolates from biofilms in hospital hot water systems are more tolerant to copper than those from water, due to increased copA gene expression and local adaptation.

Impact of temperature on Legionella pneumophila, its protozoan host cells, and the microbial diversity of the biofilm community of a pilot cooling tower

This study investigates how temperature affects Legionella pneumophila growth in a lab-scale cooling tower, its protozoan hosts, and microbial diversity in biofilms.

Cardiac remodeling after six weeks of high-intensity interval training to exhaustion in endurance-trained males

This study examines the cardiovascular effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in endurance-trained males, finding reduced blood pressure and increased left atrial volumes, with submaximal HIIT negatively affecting right ventricular function.

Presence of Legionella spp. in cooling towers: the role of microbial diversity, Pseudomonas, and continuous chlorine application.

The paper investigates how microbial diversity, Pseudomonas, and chlorine affect Legionella spp. presence in cooling towers, finding that chlorine reduces diversity and promotes Pseudomonas, which inhibits Legionella.
