Whole-genome sequence of the human pathogen Legionella pneumophila serogroup 12 strain 570-CO-H

Abstract

We present the genomic sequence of the human pathogen Legionella pneumophila serogroup 12 strain 570-CO-H (ATCC 43290), a clinical isolate from the Colorado Department of Health, Denver, CO. This is the first example of a genome sequence of L. pneumophila from a serogroup other than serogroup 1. We highlight the similarities and differences relative to six genome sequences that have been reported for serogroup 1 strains. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
