Description and Significance
Legionella Bononiesis is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium that utilizes transitory flagella for locomotion. It was discovered in northern Italy where it was isolated from a hotel water distribution system. Do to the conditions required for growth it often grows in regulated man-made water systems or is found naturally in places with a more tropical climate.
