Two Legionella-like organisms were isolated from cooling-tower water samples in Czechoslovakia. They were presumptively identified as legionellae by their growth on buffered charcoal-yeast extract agar (BCYE) containing L-cysteine and their absence of growth on BCYE without L-cysteine. Both strains contained predominately branch-chained cellular fatty acids and were therefore definitively placed in the genus Legionella. They were serologically distinct from other described Legionella species and were shown by DNA studies to constitute two new Legionella species, Legionella moravica (type strain 316-36; ATCC 43877) and Legionella brunensis (type strain 441-1; ATCC 43878).
在捷克斯洛伐克，从冷却塔水样中分离出两种类似军团菌的微生物。通过它们在含有L-半胱氨酸的缓冲活性炭酵母提取物琼脂（BCYE）上生长，而在不含L-半胱氨酸的BCYE上不生长，初步鉴定为军团菌。两株菌均主要含有支链细胞脂肪酸，因此被明确归为军团菌属。它们在血清学上与其他已描述的军团菌物种不同，DNA研究表明它们构成了两个新的军团菌物种，即摩拉维亚军团菌（模式菌株316 - 36；ATCC 43877）和布鲁恩军团菌（模式菌株441 - 1；ATCC 43878）。
