Legionella pneumophila, a parasite of alveolar macrophages, requires iron for intra-and
extracellular growth. Although its mechanisms for iron assimilation are poorly understood …

Iron is required for the intracellular and extracellular growth of Legionella pneumophila (Lp).
In addition, variations in iron levels may serve as a signal for changes in gene expression. In …

Legionella pneumophila, a parasite of macrophages and protozoa, requires iron for optimal
extracellular and intracellular growth. However, its mechanisms of iron acquisition remain …

Legionella pneumophila, a facultative intracellular parasite of human alveolar macrophages
and protozoa, causes Legionnaires' disease. Using mini-Tn 10 mutagenesis, we previously …

In order to determine the role of ferrous iron transport in Legionella pathogenesis, we
identified and mutated the feoB gene in virulent Legionella pneumophila strain 130b. As it is …

Previously, we obtained a Legionella pneumophila mutant, NU208, that is hypersensitive to
iron chelators when grown on standard Legionella media. Here, we demonstrate that …

The virulence of Legionella pneumophila is dependent upon its capacity to acquire iron. To
identify genes involved in expression of its siderophore, we screened a mutagenized …

We recently demonstrated that the virulence of a clinical isolate of Legionella pneumophila
is significantly attenuated when cultured in an iron-limited environment. In this study the …

Legionella pneumophila has high iron requirements, and its intracellular growth in human
monocytes is dependent on the availability of intracellular iron. To learn more about iron …

Using a PCR-based strategy and degenerate oligonucleotides, we isolated a Legionella
pneumophila gene that showed high sequence similarity to members of the fliI gene family …
