HAMAP: Legionella pneumophila (strain Paris) complete proteome

General information

Species:  Legionella pneumophila (strain Paris)
Species code: LEGPA
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Legionellales; Legionellaceae; Legionella (TaxID: 297246) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: 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. 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. Strain Paris is the only endemic strain known to date and is responsible for 12.7% of the cases of legionellosis in France and 33% of those occuring in Paris area. It is associated with hospital- and community-acquired forms of the disease that occur as outbreaks or sporadic cases.
Properties: Presence of flagella: Yes
Human pathogen: Yes
Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia
Number of membranes: 2
Number of inteins:0
Statistics: Number of LEGPA entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 3147 (379 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 2768 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
