Advancing <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> genomic surveillance with a high-resolution cg/wgMLST schema for outbreak detection and investigation

2026-02-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Sequence-based typing (SBT) has been the standard molecular typing method for understanding Legionella pneumophila genetic relationships. However, genome-scale typing approaches, namely core-genome (cg) or whole-genome (wg) multilocus sequence typing (MLST), provide higher discriminatory power. To advance these capabilities, the Legionella International Typing (LIT) workgroup was establish...
