Molecular evolution of virulence genes and non-virulence genes in clinical, natural and artificial environmental Legionella pneumophila isolates
BACKGROUND: L. pneumophila is the main causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease. Free-living amoeba in natural aquatic environments is the reservoir and shelter for L. pneumophila. From natural water sources, L. pneumophila can colonize artificial environments such as cooling towers and hot-water sy...
