Genetic Diversity of the Legionella pneumophila dotA Gene Detected on Surfaces of Respiratory Therapy Equipment

Legionellosis is a neglected disease due to the absence of well-defined clinical symptoms and difficulties in isolating the causal organism. Legionella spp. is known to colonize the lumen of respiratory therapy equipment(RTE) and evade conventional detection by entering the viable but non-culturable...
