Genomic heterogeneity differentiates clinical and environmental subgroups of Legionella pneumophila sequence type 1.
Legionella spp. are the cause of a severe bacterial pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease (LD). In some cases, current genetic subtyping methods cannot resolve LD outbreaks caused by common, potentially endemic L. pneumophila (Lp) sequence types (ST), which complicates laboratory investigati...
