Abstract
The genomic analysis allowed the design of a highly specific PCR assay for rapid detection of ST47 strains. Furthermore, it allowed us to uncover the evolution of ST47 strains from ST109 by homologous recombination with ST62. We hypothesize that this recombination generated the leading cause of legionellosis in north-western Europe.
