• Status of pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and antibiotic residues in wastewater treatment systems (2017, background): “Amoebae resistant bacteria can infect and withstand the digestive process of FLA, thrive, multiply, and exit FLA aiding them to spread and colonize water system (Abd et al. 2007; Greub and Raoult 2004; Lone et al. 2009; Muchesa et al. 2014).”
• Soil protistology rebooted: 30 fundamental questions to start with (2017, neutral): “Many free-living bacteria can, in turn, defend themselves against certain protist predators and even kill them (Greub and Raoult, 2004; Jousset et al., 2006).”
• The Selective Value of Bacterial Shape (2006, background): “Numerous bacteria have made the transition from being intracellular parasites of freshwater amoebae or other protozoa and have become intracellular parasites of phagocytic cells of the immune system (106).”
• Pathogenic and opportunistic free-living amoebae: Acanthamoeba spp., Balamuthia mandrillaris, Naegleria fowleri, and Sappinia diploidea. (2007, background): “Acanthamoeba spp. have recently received much attention because they are known to serve as hosts for bacterial pathogens such as Legionella spp., and potentially for a large number of pathogenic bacteria including Francisella tularensis, Mycobacterium avium, Burkholderia spp., Vibrio cholerae, Liste”
• Persistence of foodborne pathogens and their control in primary and secondary food production chains (2014, background): “If L. monocytogenes can internalise in protozoa they could be protected from otherwise lethal environmental conditions, and thus persist (Greub & Raoult, 2004).”
• From Q Fever to Coxiella burnetii Infection: a Paradigm Change (2016, background): “It has been emphasized that most intracellular bacteria infecting humans and animals are able to multiply within unicellular protozoa such as amoebae (116).”
