Abstract

A new serogroup of Legionella pneumophila was isolated from bronchoscopic washings and an open-lung biopsy specimen of a patient from California with pneumonia. A serologically identical isolate was obtained from tap water of a hospital ward in the Netherlands, and a fatal case of pneumonia in a patient from Virginia was shown retrospectively to have been caused by this new organism. The type strain of what is now serogroup 9 of L. pneumophila is IN-23-G1-C2 (American Type Culture Collection no. 35289). Disease caused by L. pneumophila serogroup 9 is not apparently different from that caused by other L. pneumophila serogroups.

摘要

从加利福尼亚一名肺炎患者的支气管灌洗物和开胸肺活检标本中分离出嗜肺军团菌的一个新血清群。在荷兰一家医院病房的自来水中也获得了一株血清学相同的分离株，并且回顾性研究表明，弗吉尼亚一名患者的致命肺炎病例是由这种新病原体引起的。嗜肺军团菌血清群9的模式菌株是IN-23-G1-C2（美国典型培养物保藏中心编号35289）。嗜肺军团菌血清群9引起的疾病与其他嗜肺军团菌血清群引起的疾病并无明显差异。
