Now, Legionella pneumophila can enter the body through inhalation of contaminated water droplets.
嗜肺军团菌可以通过受污染水滴被吸入人体。

Now, Legionella pneumophila causes a disease called legionellosis which has two distinct entities.

Now, Legionella pneumophila has a very thin peptidoglycan layer, so it stains like a Gram-negative bacteria.

Alright, as a quick recap: Legionella pneumophila is a Gram-negative bacillus found in water systems.
得!快速回顾一下:嗜肺军团菌是一种存在于供水系统中的革兰染色阴性菌。

Legionella pneumophila is non-spore forming, aerobic, which means it needs oxygen to survive, facultative intracellular, which means it can survive both inside and outside the cell, and oxidase and catalase positive, which means it produces both of these enzymes.
There are also more unusual bacteria like mycoplasma pneumoniae, chlamydophila pneumoniae, and legionella pneumophila, which don't have a cell wall and are well known for causing an " atypical or walking pneumonia" because they often cause vague symptoms like fatigue.
