A Legionella-like organism (strain 1087-AZ-H) was isolated from a pleural-fluid specimen from a renal transplant patient undergoing immunosuppressive therapy. Growth characteristics and gas-liquid chromatography profiles of the isolate were consistent with those for Legionella spp. The isolate fluoresced blue-white under long-wave UV light. Strain 1087-AZ-H was serologically distinct in the slide agglutination test with absorbed antisera. DNA hybridization studies placed it in a new Legionella species, Legionella tucsonensis (ATCC 49180).
从一名正在接受免疫抑制治疗的肾移植患者的胸腔积液标本中分离出一种类军团菌生物体(菌株1087-AZ-H)。该分离株的生长特性和气液色谱图谱与军团菌属的一致。该分离株在长波紫外线下发出蓝白色荧光。在玻片凝集试验中,菌株1087-AZ-H与吸收后的抗血清在血清学上不同。DNA杂交研究将其归入一个新的军团菌物种——图森军团菌(ATCC 49180)。
