Here we present the first attempt to quantify Legionella pneumophila cell numbers within individual amoeba hosts that may be released into engineered water systems. The maximum numbers of culturable L. pneumophila cells grown within Acanthamoeba polyphaga and Naegleria fowleri were 1,348 (mean, 329) and 385 (mean, 44) CFU trophozoite(-1), respectively.
在这里,我们首次尝试定量研究可能释放到工程水系统中的个体变形虫宿主内的嗜肺军团菌细胞数量。在多棘阿米巴和福氏耐格里阿米巴内培养的嗜肺军团菌最大可培养细胞数分别为 1348(平均值,329)和 385(平均值,44)CFU 滋养体(-1)。
