Abstract: The present disclosure includes the use of an R—(X)n-Fluo-Rep-(Gly)m-Z—NH2 peptide for detecting and assaying the activity of the major surface protease of Legionella pneumophilia. This disclosure also includes a method for detecting and quantifying Legionella pneumophilia in any medium likely to be contaminated with the bacterium, for example a domestic hot water supply and cooling tower circuits.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to novel compounds of the formula (I) R1NH—CH(R2)CH2—S—S—CH2—C(R3)(R4)—CONH—C(R5)(R6)—COOR7, in which R1 is a (acyloxy)alkyl carbamate-C(O)—O—C(R8)(R9)—OC(O)—R10 group; R2 is a hydrocarbon chain, a methylene radical substituted by a heterocycle, R4 is a hydrogen atom and R3 is a phenyl or benzyl radical, a heteroaryl, a methylene group substituted by a heterocycle or R3 and R4 form together a saturated cycle; R5 and R6 are hydrogen, a hydrocarbon chain, a phenyl or benzyl radical or R5 and R6 form together a saturated cycle; R7 is hydrogen, a phenyl or benzyl radical, a group of the formula CR12(R13)C(O)OR14 or OCR12(R13)OC(O)R14 or OCR12(R13)OC(O)OR14. The disclosure also relates to the use of these compounds as a drug, and to a pharmaceutical composition containing said compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
