Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic> <bold>Legionella pneumophila</bold> </italic> is a deadly pathogen that was discovered after an outbreak in 1976 at the convention of the American Legion in Philadelphia. In their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 1275 ff., </ext-link> S. Dukan, B. Vauzeilles, and co‐workers describe a simple strategy to detect and identify living <italic>Legionella pneumophila</italic> by metabolic incorporation of a modified carbohydrate into their lipopolysaccharides, followed by further conjugation using click chemistry.
