Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 was isolated from antemortem aerobic blood culture bottles not supplemented with L-cysteine or ferric pyrophosphate and from the postmortem lung tissue of a 72-year-old man. We recommend that aerobic blood culture bottles (Johnston Laboratories, Cockeysville, Md.) of BACTEC be subcultured to an agar that supports the growth of L. pneumophila when growth indexes range from 30 to 60 but fail to increase further.
嗜肺军团菌血清1型从未添加L-半胱氨酸或焦磷酸铁的生前需氧血培养瓶以及一名72岁男性的死后肺组织中分离得到。我们建议,当BACTEC需氧血培养瓶(约翰斯顿实验室,马里兰州科基斯维尔)的生长指数在30至60之间但不再进一步升高时,应将其转种至支持嗜肺军团菌生长的琼脂上。
