Genome sequencing links persistent outbreak of legionellosis in Sydney to an emerging clone of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> ST211

2017-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The city of Sydney, Australia, experienced a persistent outbreak of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 (Lp1) pneumonia in 2016. To elucidate the source and bring the outbreak to a close we examined the genomes of clinical and environmental Lp1 isolates recovered over 7 weeks. A total of 48 isolates from patients and cooling towers were sequenced and compared using SNP-based, core-genome MLST and pangenome approac...
