Insertion sequences as highly resolutive genomic markers for sequence type 1 Legionella pneumophila Paris.
The causative agent of legionellosis, Legionella pneumophila, colonizes all natural and human-made water networks, thus constituting the source of contaminated aerosols responsible for airborne human infections. Efficient control of infections, especially during epidemics, necessitates the fastest and most resolutive identification possible of the bacterial source for subsequent disinfection of...
متن کاملLegionella pneumophila sequence type 1/Paris pulsotype subtyping by spoligotyping.
Endemic strains of Legionella pneumophila sequence type 1 (ST1), in particular the ST1/Paris pulsotype, are dispersed worldwide and represent about 10% of culture-proven clinical cases of Legionnaires' disease in France. The high rate of isolation of this strain from both clinical and environmental samples makes identification of the source of infection difficult during epidemiological investig...
متن کاملLegionella pneumophila serogroup 1 strain Paris: endemic distribution throughout France.
An analysis of 691 French clinical Legionella isolates showed that the endemic L. pneumophila serogroup 1 strain Paris was responsible for 12.2% of all cases of legionellosis and had a specific pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern. We also demonstrated the presence of this endemic clone throughout Europe.
متن کاملThe genomic sequence of the accidental pathogen Legionella pneumophila.
We present the genomic sequence of Legionella pneumophila, the bacterial agent of Legionnaires' disease, a potentially fatal pneumonia acquired from aerosolized contaminated fresh water. The genome includes a 45-kilobase pair element that can exist in chromosomal and episomal forms, selective expansions of important gene families, genes for unexpected metabolic pathways, and previously unknown ...
متن کاملSevere non-type-1 Legionella pneumophila infection without pneumonia.
We present a patient with myalgia and ongoing fever without respiratory symptoms caused by a Legionella pneumophilia infection. We conclude that in patients with fever of unknown origin legionellosis should be considered, even in the absence of pulmonary symptoms. When considering legionellosis, diagnostic tests should include the urinary antigen test.
