Dynamics and impact of homologous recombination on the evolution of Legionella pneumophila.

Dynamics and impact of homologous recombination on the evolution of Legionella pneumophila.

Legionella pneumophila is an environmental bacterium and the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease. Previous genomic studies have shown that recombination accounts for a high proportion (>96%) of diversity within several major disease-associated sequence types (STs) of L. pneumophila. Thi...
