[A mathematical model of the growth of a population of Legionella pneumophila in the presence of Tetrahymena pyriformis protozoa].
The mathematical model describing the dynamics of the growth of L. pneumophila in aqueous environment in the presence of protozoa has been worked out. The model has demonstrated considerable heterogeneity of the initial population of virulent L. pneumophila strains. The number of bacteria capable of multiplication in Infusoria is no more than 0.1% of the initial population. The time of the generation of the infective agent inside Tetrahymena pyriformis is 2.8 hours.
