Abstract excerpt
Legionella pneumophila populations within environmental reservoirs can exhibit genomic diversity, complicating source attribution during outbreak investigations. Core genome single-nucleotide variant (cgSNV)-based approaches are widely used for identifying closely related lineages during molecular epidemiological investigations; however, they primarily focus on nucleotide-level variation and may overlook...
