Excerpt
In 1976, the year the American Legion Convention was held, marked the discovery of Legionnaires’ disease, a syndrome of pneumonia caused by Legionella. Multiple people got sick at this convention. This sparked an investigation to uncover the culprit. Legionella is an aerobic gram-negative bacillus that is spread through aerosolized water particles. It is a common cause of community-acquired and hospital-acquired pneumonia.
