Hi!
My name is Amanda LaBudda and I am currently a freshman at the
University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse. I am majoring in Biology with
a Bio-Medical Concentration with the intent of eventually going to
graduate school to become a Physician Assistant. The curriculum
for this program led me to take Organismal Biology and thus began the
creation of this website!
Our assignment was to make a website about ANY
organism! With over a million choices you may be wondering how I
came to this particular bacteria species. Well, I initially
thought of animals. (Actually I had first chosen the Blue Whale!)
But I then decided to take this assignment as an opportunity to become
an 'expert' on a certain organism. Keeping in mind my desire to
pursue a career in the medical field, I realized that becoming a
specialist of the Blue Whale would yield little opportunity to exercise
my expertise. So I began researching various pathogens and ended up
stumbling upon Legionella pneumophila. The mystery that
plagued those who first tried to identify this species intrigued me.
I then decided to do a little investigating myself and the result is
this website!
Thank you for visiting and
I hope you enjoyed learning about Legionella pneumophila.
If you have any question or suggestions, I would welcome them at
