Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in Legionella from Artificial Water Systems
Pereira, Bernardo Beirão; Marrafa, Mário; Cruz, Carolina; Rodrigues, Lúcia; Nunes, Filipa; Monteiro, Silvia; Santos, Ricardo; Carneiro, Rui NevesBackground: Legionella species are the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease and, as ubiquitous waterborne bacteria, are prone to antimicrobial resistance gene (ARG) acquisition and dissemination due to the antimicrobial contamination of natural environments. Given the potential health risks associated with ARGs, it is crucial to assess their presence in the Legionella population. Methods: The ARGs lpeAB and...
