Abstract

The internalization of L. pneumophila within amoebae is a critical component of their life cycle in EWS, as it protects the bacteria from commonly used water disinfectants and provides a niche for their replication. Intracellularly replicated forms of L. pneumophila are also more virulent and resistant to sanitizers.
