ANSWER: Legionella Longbeachae was discovered the first time in 1980 from a patient with pneumonia in Long Beach, California, USA, which is also the reason for the name “longebeachae”3 In contrast to Legionella pneumophila, Legionella Longbeachae is rarely isolated from aquatic environments. The primary environmental reservoir of L. Longbeachae remains unknown; but the major source of human infection is considered to be commercial potting mixes and other decomposing materials, such as bark and sawdust. No reports of L. Longbeachae infection from water systems in the built environment have been confirmed3
