Summary

This new volume offers a comprehensive overview on recent findings and current opinions on Legionella research, covering all aspects of pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and surveillance of Legionnaires' disease. A major focus of the book is the molecular elucidation of bacterial properties which enable Legionella to thrive in the aquatic environment and to infect the human host. It offers a detailed description and analysis of bacterial factors that contribute to environmental fitness and pathogenesis and presents new evidence to implicate various environmental sources of legionellosis. Originally presented at the 5th International Conference on Legionella, these contributions reflect the current state of the science as well as future perspectives. Key Features Provides a comprehensive overview of the current status and perspectives on Legionella and Legionnaires' disease Offers descriptions of recent outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease Includes over
