Description

Legionella longbeachae is the predominant causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease (LD) in New Zealand with a peak infection period during the spring and summer months. This is a plant-associated microbe that can be found throughout the environment and is associated with potting mix and compost. LD is difficult to diagnose because of difficulty with obtaining respiratory samples.
