摘要: Legionella pneumophila is a gram-negative pathogen that causes severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. Here, we demonstrate for the first time L. infects and grows within cultured human endothelial cells. Endothelial infection may contribute to lung damage observed during disease systemic spread of this organism.
