DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Nilmini Mendis\, Department of Natural Reso
 urce Sciences\n\nRespiratory infections\, including community-acquired pne
 umonia\, are most common among the elderly and immunocompromised individua
 ls. Legionella pneumophila (Lp) contributes to this disease burden as the 
 leading cause of Legionnaires’ disease (LD)\, an atypical and potentially 
 life-threatening pneumonia whose incidence rates have seen an increase in 
 the last decade. This water-borne bacterium is transmitted through contami
 nated aerosols that are emitted from a variety of water distribution syste
 ms. Lp is ubiquitous in freshwater\, and notoriously persistent in anthrop
 ogenic systems\, surviving a slew of disinfectants. An important knowledge
  gap in Legionella research is the identification of genetic factors contr
 ibuting to the long-term survival of the bacterium in water\, and in respo
 nse to the environmental stresses encountered within aquatic systems. As a
  first step\, the development of a reproducible proxy for a freshwater mod
 el was required.\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community is welcome to attend 
 a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of o
 ur PhD candidates.\n
