Genomic divergence and phenotypic heterogeneity of Legionella longbeachae reveal a putative novel proinflammatory serogroup with genome reduction and mobilome expansion

An open pan-genomic and functional analysis of 242 L. longbeachae isolates reveals an open pan-genome driven by extensive horizontal gene transfer and marked functional divergence between core and accessory genomes, revealing a distinct pathogenic profile in sg3 that differs from the canonical serogroups, characterized...
