Characteristics of environmental isolates of Legionella pneumophila.

Abstract:

:Thirty-eight cultures of Legionella pneumophila isolated from surface waters were characterized by their morphological, tinctorial, biochemical, and serological properties and by their ability to produce disease in guinea pigs. Their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents also was tested. When they were compared with clinical isolates, no important differences were found between cultures from the two sources. Sodium hippurate hydrolysis, gelatin liquefaction, pigment formation, and beta-lactamase and alkaline phosphatase activity were useful in differentiating the four described species of Legionella. Hydrolysis of diacetylfluorescein and the inability to reduce nitrate help to distinguish Legionella species from other gram-negative bacterial rods.
