Species code:	LEGPH
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Legionellales; Legionellaceae; Legionella (TaxID: 272624) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of the Legionnaires' disease, a potentially 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 Philadelphia 1 is derived from the original 1976 isolate.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Human pathogen: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
