Difference between legionella and legionella pnuemophila?
'Pneumonia' is the Latin term for a inflammatory illness of the lung. Among the different types of legionella bacteria there are some that can duplicate themselves in the lungs. These are the so-called legionella pneumophila. When in high enough numbers, they represent a direct thread to the human immune system. The 'plain' legionella do not (in the majority of cases!), although they are of the same family of bacteria as the legionella pneumophila and there exists a discussion whether (1) the occurrence of the 'plain' legionella means the conditions are also fit for the legionella pneumophila to grow or (2) the 'plain' legionella might be dominant enough to prevent the legionella pneumophila of growing.
What causes Legionnaire's disease?
inhaling Legionella bacteria from the environment. Typically, the bacteria are dispersed in aerosols of contaminated water. These aerosols are produced by devices in which warm water can stagnate,
Is blood and bone fertilizer dangerous to touch when gardening?
In the short, no, it's not dangerous. However, it CAN be depending on the conditions. Blood & Bone is notorious for carrying legionella, which is a nasty little bacteria, responsible for Legionnaires disease. It's always best to use gardening gloves, no matter the task at hand. But it's always best with Blood & Bone, as you can never tell just what is in there. If your Blood & Bone mix is damp, just be sure to wear a mask, as the spores may contain, the nasty little things known as legionella.
What microorganisms required special culture procedures?
microorganisms that.require special culture procedures. Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycoplasma pneumonia. Bordetella pertussis. Legionella pneumophila. Chlamydia pneumoniae. Chlamydia psittaci. Pneumocystis carinii
What is proteolytic bacteria?
The Proteobacteria are a major group (phylum) of bacteria.
Is legionella a microorganism?
Legionella is a group of bacteria - microorganisms.
How many species of Legionella exist?
There are at least fifty species of Legionella in existence today. Legionella is a bacteria found in soil, water and other regions of the earth. This dangerous bacteria leads to severe illness that often results in death. The Legionella bacteria is what causes what is known as Legionnaires' Disease.
What is legionella?
Legionella pneumophila is the bacteria responsible for Legionnaires disease . The Legionella invades and replicates in macrophages , these occurrences rise in the summer months and is considered treatable .

Legionella Pneumophia kingdom?
Legionella pneumophila belongs to the kingdom Bacteria. It is a Gram-negative bacterium that thrives in aquatic environments and can cause a severe form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease when inhaled by humans.
What causes Legionnaire's disease?
inhaling Legionella bacteria from the environment. Typically, the bacteria are dispersed in aerosols of contaminated water. These aerosols are produced by devices in which warm water can stagnate,
What types of bacteria do not grow on nutrient agar?
Most of Gram+ bacteria and for Gram- ones, Segnilliparus spp.
What is an example of a parasitic bacteria?
There are many different types of parasitic bacteria in the world. Some of these include Brucella, Legionella, Mycobacterium, and Nocardia.
What does spp mean in Legionella spp?
"Spp" in Legionella spp stands for "species". It indicates that there are multiple species within the Legionella genus, such as Legionella pneumophila and Legionella longbeachae.
How does water kill bacteria?
The heat energy (in the water) is transferred to the bacterial cells, inactivating proteins needed for the bacteria to function and reproduce. The proteins are denatured, meaning the structure is changed, much like a fried egg. Water begins killing some bacteria at about 120ºF. Pasteurization takes place at 140ºF. Water temperatures between 140ºF - 165ºF will kill most bacteria considered harmful to humans. Boiling water (212ºF) will kill most bacteria. The hotter the water, the less time it takes to kill bacteria. Legionella (the cause of Legionnaires' disease) will grow in water at temperatures from 68°F - 122°F. At 131°F, Legionella die within 5 to 6 hours. At 140°F, Legionella die within 32 minutes. At 151°F, Legionella die within 2 minutes. 158°F - 176°F is considered the disinfection range for Legionella. Water temperatures over 122ºF can burn the skin. Most hot water heaters are set somewhere between 120ºF - 130ºF. Therefore, when you wash your hands with soap and hot water, you aren't killing many germs... you're just washing them down the drain.
What disorder is associated with Legionnaires' disease?
the Legionella bacteria survive being phagocytosed. Instead of being destroyed within the macrophage, they grow and replicate, eventually killing the macrophage.
What type of disease is the pontiac fever?
This is caused by a bacteria which produces flu-like symptoms but doesn't progress into pneumonia. It isn't transmitted from one person to another but It is acquired through aersolization of water droplets and/or potting soil containing Legionella bacteria.
