Journal Article
Investigation of a Legionella pneumophila Outbreak at a Bath Facility in Japan Using Whole-Genome Sequencing of Isolates from Clinical and Environmental Samples
2022
Overview
Exposure to aerosols containing Legionella from artificially made water systems has been established as a primary cause of Legionnaires’ disease. In this study, we investigated an outbreak of L. pneumophila serogroup 1 sequence type 138 which occurred at a bath facility in 2022. The whole-genome sequencing of isolates revealed that the colonization of L. pneumophila at the bath facility had occurred before 2013, and the patients had been exposed to multiple genetic lineages of the strain. Our study demonstrates the importance of performing a careful comparative genetic analysis of clinical and environmental isolates from LD outbreaks in order to effectively investigate and prevent future LD outbreaks.
