Real-time investigation of a Legionella pneumophila outbreak using whole genome sequencing.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Nov 2014

Graham R M A, Doyle C J, Jennison A V

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila is the main pathogen responsible for outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease, which can be related to contaminated water supplies such as cooling towers or water pipes. We combined conventional molecular methods and whole genome sequence (WGS) analysis to investigate an outbreak of L. pneumophila in a large Australian hospital. Typing of these isolates using sequence-based typing and virulence...
