El género Legionella pertenece a la familia Legionellaceae y está formado por al menos 42 especies. [...] Aunque se considera que todas las especies de Legionella pueden ser patógenos para el ser humano, L. pneumophila es el principal microorganismo patógeno transmitido por el agua que ocasiona legionelosis [...]

OBS

Legionella: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el término legionela, nombre de la enfermedad también conocida como legionelosis o enfermedad del legionario, se escribe en español con una sola ele en la última sílaba y no con dos, y en minúscula. [...] El uso ha hecho que la palabra legionela no solo sea el nombre común de la bacteria, que pertenece al género con denominación científica Legionella (en cursiva, mayúscula y, entonces sí, con elle), sino también el de la enfermedad, tal y como se recoge en el Diccionario de la Academia y en su Diccionario del estudiante.
