Legionellae are Gram-negative bacteria which are capable of causing disease, most commonly in the form of pneumonia. We describe a case of native valve endocarditis caused by a Legionella strain which by genotypic (16S rRNA and mip gene sequencing) and phenotypic analyses is unlike previously described strains of Legionella.
军团菌是革兰氏阴性菌,能够引起疾病,最常见的形式是肺炎。我们描述了一例由军团菌菌株引起的原生瓣膜心内膜炎的病例,该菌株通过基因型(16S rRNA 和 mip 基因测序)和表型分析与以前描述的军团菌菌株不同。
