Thirty-one epidemiologically unrelated Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 isolates (10 from cooling towers, 10 from public spas and/or hot spring baths, and 11 from patients) were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and sequence-based typing (SBT) using 6 loci, flaA, pilE, asd, mip, mompS, and proA. The results of PFGE and SBT analysis indicated that all 10 isolates from cooling towers clustered into a unique type, which was distinct from strains of other environmental sources.
通过脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)和基于序列的分型(SBT)方法,使用6个基因座(flaA、pilE、asd、mip、mompS和proA)对31株流行病学上无关联的嗜肺军团菌血清1型分离株进行了分析。这些分离株分别来自冷却塔(10株)、公共温泉浴场和/或温泉池(10株)以及患者(11株)。PFGE和SBT分析结果表明,所有来自冷却塔的10株分离株聚为一种独特类型,与其他环境来源的菌株不同。
