Legionella pelazae sp. nov. and Legionella navarrensis sp. nov., two novel Legionella species, reveal deep genomic diversification within engineered water systems
Members of the genus Legionella are Gram-negative aquatic bacteria widely distributed in natural and engineered aquatic environments, yet the genomic diversity of environmental representatives remains incompletely resolved. During routine surveillance of two independent engineered water systems in Spain, two strain...
