Differential Bacterial Predation by Free-Living Amoebae May Result in Blooms of <i>Legionella</i> in Drinking Water Systems
Intracellular growth of pathogenic <i>Legionella</i> in free-living amoebae (FLA) results in the critical concentrations that are problematic in engineered water systems (EWS). However, being amoeba-resistant bacteria (ARB), how <i>Legionella</i> spp. becomes internalized wit...
