Legionella pneumophila (mainly serogroup 1) is the most common and prominent pathogen within the genus. This species is the causative agent of more than 70% of legionellosis (Joseph, 2002). In non-L. pneumophila

The syndrome of Legionnaires’ disease was first recognized at the 1976 American Legion Convention in Philadelphia where 221 Legionnaires contracted pneumonia and 34 died. The causative agent was identified as an aerobic gramnegative bacterium, subsequently namedLegionella pneumophila.1Although the family Le...

In just 25 minutes, Hydrosense test kits can detect all Legionella pneumophila serogroups 1-15 – the main cause of Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks worldwide.
The human pathogen Legionella pneumophila represents a well-known example of a grazing-resistant bacterial species that can also take advantage of protists as a protective niche (Kilvington and Price, 1990). L. pneumophila is a gram-negative g-proteobacter- ial species common in soil and natural...
IMPORTANCE Legionella pneumophila (L.p.) is a prominent bacterial pathogen, which is a common causative agent of pneumonia. In order to survive inside the host cell, the human macrophage, it profoundly interacts with host cell processes to advance its own replication. In this study, we identify...

Legionella pneumophila (L.P.),responsible for Legionnaire's Disease (L.D.), was clinically individualized during the summer or 1976. It is the principal agent of legionelloses. The term "legionellosis" is used to name the infections caused by the Legionellaceae. All these bacteria , but ...
