Two strains of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 (UH1 and RH1) were incubated in fresh human serum. The UH1 strain was serum resistant, whereas the RH1 strain was serum susceptible. The bactericidal activity of fresh serum was abrogated by heating. Serum resistance of L. pneumophila strains may correlate with increased virulence.
两株嗜肺军团菌血清1型菌株(UH1和RH1)在新鲜人血清中培养。UH1菌株具有血清抗性,而RH1菌株对血清敏感。新鲜血清的杀菌活性经加热后被消除。嗜肺军团菌菌株的血清抗性可能与毒力增加相关。
