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 Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of LEGPL entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2919 (370 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 2549 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
