Evaluation of Genetic Diversity and Virulence Potential of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> Isolated from Water Supply Systems of Residential Buildings in Latvia

Evaluation of Genetic Diversity and Virulence Potential of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> Isolated from Water Supply Systems of Residential Buildings in Latvia

<i>Legionella</i> is an opportunistic pathogen with a biphasic life cycle that occasionally infects humans. The aim of the study was to assess the distribution of virulence genes and genetic diversity among <i>L. pneumophila</i> isolated from water supply systems of residenti...
