Low genomic diversity of Legionella pneumophila within clinical specimens.

Clinical microbiology and infection : the official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - 1 Sept 2018

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Legionella pneumophila is the leading cause of Legionnaires' disease, a severe form of pneumonia acquired from environmental sources. Investigations of both sporadic cases and outbreaks rely mostly on analysis of a single to a few colony pick(s) isolated from each patient. However, because of the lack of data describing diversity within single patients, the optimal number of picks is unknown. Here, we...
