Draft Genome Sequence of Legionella Species Isolated from Drinking Water in an Italian Industry.

We report the draft genome sequences of an environmental Legionella strain isolated from an industrial water distribution system in Italy. Macrophage infectivity potentiator ( mip) and β-subunit of RNA polymerase ( rpoB ) genes were used to perform the species identification. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) identified the isolate as belonging to a presumptive novel Legionella species, with a genome length of 3,281,851 bp.
