You will prepare and submit a term paper on Bacteria Genomes- Legionella Pneumophila. Your paper should be a minimum of 1250 words in length. Legionella pneumophila in their natural environment grow with other organisms, mostly protozoa’s such as Hartmanella vermiformis. The organism, more or less, establishes an endosymbiotic relationship with the host protozoan. These organisms multiply within the host, and a large amount of Legionella bacteria are present within a single amoeba, which is sufficient to infect a human being.

List some statistical information for this microorganism:

The first outbreak of the Legionnaire’s disease, later found to be caused by Legionella pneumophila, was in the year 1976 when about 220 World War veterans attending the American Legion Convention were infected by the organism resulting in 34 deaths.

In 1999, there were 133 people affected by the disease during a flower show at Netherlands in which 11 percent of the cases reportedly died.

Another outbreak of the disease occurred in 2000, when 119 people were affected by the disease which resulted in four deaths.

EWGLI data shows that since 1993 the number of people affected by the disease has been on a steady rise and CDC estimates have shown that about 10,000 to 20,000 people are affected by the disease every year, but the number reported to health authorities is relatively low.
