A new oligonucleotide microarray for detection of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Legionella spp. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Legionella pneumophila has been recognized as the major cause of legionellosis since the discovery of the deadly disease. Legionella spp. other than L. pneumophila were later found to be responsible to many non-pneumophila infections.
