Legionella pneumophila

Species of bacterium

Legionella pneumophila is an aerobic, pleomorphic, flagellated, non-spore-forming, Gram-negative bacterium. There are fourteen serotypes of L. pneumophila L. pneumophila is a facultative intracellular parasite that infects soil amoebae and freshwater amoeboflagellates for replication. This pathogen is thus found commonly near freshwater environments and invades the unicellular life, using them to carry out metabolic functions. Due to L. pneumophila’s ability to thrive in water, it can grow in water filtration systems, leading to faucets, showers, and other fixtures and then spread through aerosolized water droplets.
