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.
The strain Philadelphia 1 is derived from the original 1976 isolate.
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.
