Legionella geestiana is a gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella . [3] [4]
The Legionellales are an order of Pseudomonadota. Like all Pseudomonadota, they are Gram-negative. They comprise two families, typified by Legionella and Coxiella, both of which include notable pathogens. For example, Q fever is caused by Coxiella burnetii and Legionella pneumophila causes Legionnaires' disease and Pontiac fever.
Legionella adelaidensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from cooling tower water in Adelaide in South Australia.
Legionella birminghamensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic bacterium from the genus Legionella, which was isolated from a cardiac transplant recipient and from water near Clermont-Ferrand in France. It was named after Birmingham, Alabama.
Legionella brunensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic bacterium from the genus Legionella, which was isolated from cooling tower water in Czechoslovakia.
Legionella cincinnatiensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated in Cincinnati from an open lung biopsy specimen from a patient who had hemodialysis because of an end-stage renal disease and suffered from bronchopneumonia.
Legionella dumoffii is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella with a monopolar flagellum which was isolated from lung tissue of a patient who suffered from fatal pneumonia. L. dumoffii occurs in soil and freshwater environments and can cause human pneumonia and accidentally induce other diseases such as prosthetic valve endocarditis and septic arthritis.
Legionella erythra is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from cooling-tower water in Seattle.
Legionella fairfieldensis is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella with a single polar flagellum, which was isolated from cooling tower water in Fairfield, Victoria.
Legionella fallonii is a Gram-negative, catalase-positive, weakly oxidase-positive bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from a ship air-conditioning system.
Legionella feeleii is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from an automobile plant and which was held responsible for causing Pontiac fever in 317 workers. The organism did not grow on blood agar, required L-cysteine, and showed significant quantities of branched-chain fatty acids. More recently, an unusual, extrapulmonary case was described in a 66-year-old woman admitted to Hopital Nord, Marseille, France because of a complicated cellulitis and an abscess on her right leg following a suspected insect or spider bite.
Legionella londiniensis is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from hot spring water in Shizuoka in Japan.
Legionella lytica is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella.
Legionella moravica is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from cooling-tower water samples in Czechoslovakia.
Legionella nagasakiensis is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from a sample of hot spring water in Aomori in Japan and from human lung tissue. It is catalase-positive and rod-shaped, with a single polar flagellum.
Legionella parisiensis is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from cooling tower water in Paris.
Legionella rowbothamii is a Gram-negative, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from water and sludge from an industrial liquifier tower. Discovered by Tim Rowbotham.
Legionella rubrilucens is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from tap water in Los Angeles, hot spring water in Niigata in Japan, and a patient who suffered from pneumonia.
Legionella spiritensis is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella which was isolated from the Spirit Lake near Mount St. Helens.
Legionella tunisiensis is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Legionella isolated from hypersaline lake water from the Lake Sabkha in Tunisia.
Legionella norrlandica is a bacterium from the genus Legionella which has been isolated from a biopurification system.
