Abstract
The Legionellales are an order of Pseudomonadota. Like all Pseudomonadota, they are Gram-negative.George M. Garrity: Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. 2. Auflage. Springer, New York, 2005, Volume 2: The Proteobacteria, Part B: The Gammaproteobacteria They comprise two families, typified by Legionella and Coxiella, both of which include notable pathogens. For example, Q fever is caused by Coxiella burnetii and Legionella pneumophila causes Legionnaires' diseaseFraser, D.W., Tsai, T,. Orenstein, W., et al. (1977).
