Legionella longbeachae



Hello, I'm L. longbeachae.
I'm a Gram Negative bacteria.

I often make my home in Australia, though I sometimes visit America.
One of my favourite spots is Western Australia.
I live in some aquatic environments, but most of the time I hang out in soil, potting mix and compost heaps.
I cause severe pneumonia and sometimes legionellosis.

    Thanks for the great education. Very refreshing and progressive way to learn. Your artwork is just so "appropriate." Keep them coming, pal.

    Are your artistic abilities for sale?
    [seriously, I would love to use your cartooning skills for an upcoming website..that is if your rates are student rates]

    Great site/ laugh as you learn.

    I live in the Detroit metro area. Michigan has serious economic issues and only when the people pull together can the problems be overcome. It’s going to take everyone not just democrat or republican. A great place to find out about local Detroit news is GROW DETROIT
