ClustalW analysis of the proteins encoded by the genomic pprA-lvrA-lvrB-lvrC gene cluster located upstream of the lvh region in L. pneumophila serogroup 1 strain Philadelphia-1 derivative JR32 and L. pneumophila serogroup 1 strain AA100 in comparison to those encoded by the the LpPI-1 pprA-lvrA-lvrB-lvrC gene clustera
