The review is devoted to the general and molecular ecology of bacteria of the genus Legionella in natural and anthropogenic environments. Invasion of amoebae and infusoria by legionellae and their replication in these protozoa can be considered to be a pre-adaptation for invasion of the human immune system. Symbiosis of bacteria and protozoa as a promising model of cellular microbiology and the conception of bacterial ecological niches are discussed in relation to the low fidelity of most bacterial species to their habitats (biotopes). The necessity of elaboration of a similar conception for microbial consortia and associations is emphasized.
这篇综述致力于研究军团菌属细菌在自然和人为环境中的一般生态学和分子生态学。军团菌对变形虫和纤毛虫的侵袭以及它们在这些原生动物中的复制可被视为对入侵人类免疫系统的一种预适应。结合大多数细菌物种对其栖息地（生物群落）的低忠诚度，讨论了细菌与原生动物的共生关系作为细胞微生物学的一个有前景的模型以及细菌生态位的概念。强调了为微生物群落和联合体制定类似概念的必要性。
