Antimicrobial susceptibility of Legionella spp. has rarely been studied in Korea. Therefore, we aimed to determine the susceptibility of Legionella spp. to various antibiotics. We assessed the antimicrobial susceptibility of 66 environmental and clinical Legionella isolates collected between January...
