Three Legionella-like organisms were isolated from water from the cooling towers of two Australian institutions. The strains grew on buffered charcoal-yeast extract (BCYE) agar but not on BCYE agar in the absence of L-cysteine. Gas-liquid chromatography profiles of the isolates were consistent with those for Legionella spp. They were serologically distinct from other legionellae in a slide agglutination test. DNA hybridization studies showed that the three isolates belong to a new species of Legionella, Legionella fairfieldensis (ATCC 49588).
从澳大利亚两家机构的冷却塔水中分离出三种类似军团菌的微生物。这些菌株在缓冲活性炭酵母提取物（BCYE）琼脂上生长，但在无L-半胱氨酸的BCYE琼脂上不生长。分离株的气液色谱图谱与军团菌属的图谱一致。在玻片凝集试验中，它们在血清学上与其他军团菌不同。DNA杂交研究表明，这三种分离株属于军团菌属的一个新物种——费尔菲尔德军团菌（ATCC 49588）。
