Global climate gradients structure soil <i>Legionella</i> diversity, relative abundance and pathogen distributions

2026-03-10

Abstract excerpt

Legionnaires’ disease has increased sixfold since 2000 in the United States, yet environmental reservoirs such as soils remain understudied sources of infection. It remains unclear how the diversity and abundance of environmental pathogens, such as Legionella , will shift as the climate continues to change. Here, we utilize 4,287 publicly available global soil 16S rRNA gene amplicon datasets to analyze how the di...
