HAMAP: Legionella pneumophila (strain Lens) complete proteome

General information

Species:  Legionella pneumophila (strain Lens)
Species code: LEGPL
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Legionellales; Legionellaceae; Legionella (TaxID: 297245) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of the Legionnaires' disease, a potential fatal pneumonia. It was isolated after an outbreak of pneumonia at an American legion convention in Philadelphia. Legionella pneumophila is found in biofilms and fresh and industrial water systems worldwide. It can survive and replicate intracellularly in free-living protozoa, often in aquatic biofilms. Strain Lens caused an outbreak of legionellosis from November 2003 to January 2004 resulting in 17 deaths in northern France.
Properties: Presence of flagella: Yes
Human pathogen: Yes
Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia
Number of membranes: 2
