Genetic relatedness between clinical and environmental Legionella isolates reveals limited within-system diversity and differences between hot- and cold-water systems

2026-08-03

Abstract excerpt

Legionnaires’ disease (LD) is a severe pneumonia increasingly linked to building water systems. Although Legionella colonizes both hot- and cold-water networks, the precise source of infection often remains unclear, and the interpretation of minor genomic differences between related isolates is not well established. We aimed to assess patterns of genetic variation between sample points within water systems and eva...
