The "Pittsburgh pneumonia agent," isolated by Pasculle and co-workers from human lung tissue, has been cultured on artificial media and characterized. The "Pittsburgh" bacterium and the TATLOCK and HEBA bacteria have identical cultural, biochemical, and antigenic characteristics. They also have the same cellular fatty-acid composition, and DNA relatedness indicates that they belong to the same species.
帕斯卡勒及其同事从人肺组织中分离出的“匹兹堡肺炎病原体”已在人工培养基上培养并进行了特性鉴定。“匹兹堡”细菌与塔特洛克菌和赫巴菌具有相同的培养、生化及抗原特性。它们还具有相同的细胞脂肪酸组成，并且DNA相关性表明它们属于同一物种。
