Price, Christopher T. D.; Richards, Ashley M.; Kwaik, Yousef Abu; Heuner, Klaus
- Abstract
The article discusses research being done on the nutritional virulence of Legionella pneumophila. It references the study "Microbial Quest for Food in vivo: 'Nutritional Virulence' as an Emerging Paradigm," by Y. Aby Kwaik and D. Bumann in the 2014 issue of Cellular Microbiology." Topics covered include the proliferation of the microorganism within protozoa, amino acids as the main sources of carbon, nitrogen and energy for Legionella, and transmission to humans.
