Population analysis of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> reveals the basis of resistance to complement-mediated killing

2020-08-14

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila is the most common cause of the severe respiratory infection known as Legionnaires’ disease. L. pneumophila is typically a symbiont of free-living amoeba, and our understanding of the bacterial factors that determine human pathogenicity is limited. Here we carried out a population genomic study of 900 L. pneumophila isolates from human clinical and environmental samples to examine their ge...
