Difference between Legionella and Pathogenic bacteria

Legionella vs. Pathogenic bacteria

The genus Legionella is a pathogenic group of Gram-negative bacteria that includes the species L. pneumophila, causing legionellosis (all illnesses caused by Legionella) including a pneumonia-type illness called Legionnaires' disease and a mild flu-like illness called Pontiac fever. Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause disease.

Similarities between Legionella and Pathogenic bacteria

Legionella and Pathogenic bacteria have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bacteria, Cooling tower, Gastrointestinal tract, Hospital-acquired infection, Immunodeficiency, Legionella pneumophila, Legionnaires' disease, Pontiac fever, Species.

Bacteria

Bacteria (common noun bacteria, singular bacterium) is a type of biological cell.

Cooling tower

A cooling tower is a heat rejection device that rejects waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature.

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.

Hospital-acquired infection

A hospital-acquired infection (HAI), also known as a nosocomial infection, is an infection that is acquired in a hospital or other health care facility.

Immunodeficiency

Immunodeficiency (or immune deficiency) is a state in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent.

Pontiac fever

Pontiac fever is an acute, nonfatal respiratory disease caused by various species of Gram-negative bacteria in the genus Legionella.

Species

In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition.
