Abstract
A lytic activity of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus strains 6-5-S and 12 was found to be present, against representatives of three Legionella species: Legionella pneumophila — strains Knoxville 1 (serogroup 1), Togus 1 (serogroup 2), Bloomington 2 (serogroup 3) and Los Angeles 1 (serogroup 4); Legionella micdadei — strain Tatlock; Legionella bozemanii — strain Wiga, as well as against strains of Legionella pneumophila isolated in Bulgaria — Draginovo 1, 2, 3 — belonging to serogroup 1.It is suggested that B. bacteriovorus participates in the self-purification of the environment from legionellae.
