Analysis of Genetic Characterization and Clonality of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> Isolated from Cooling Towers in Japan

We investigated the genetic characteristics of 161 <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> strains isolated over a period of 10 years from cooling towers in Japan. Minimum spanning tree analysis based on the sequence-based typing (SBT) of them identified three clonal complexes (CCs); CC1 (105/161,...
