Antimicrobial susceptibility and epidemiological types of Legionella pneumophila human isolates from Italy (1987–2020)

Antimicrobial susceptibility and epidemiological types of Legionella pneumophila human isolates from Italy (1987–2020)

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Although antimicrobial resistance has not yet emerged as an overarching problem for Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila) infection, the description of clinical and environmental strains resistant to fluoroquinolones and macrolides is a cause of concern. This study aimed to...
