Legionella jordanis sp. nov., as found in two cultures, is described. One isolate was from river water in Indiana and the other isolate was from sewage in DeKalb County, Ga. The former is the type strain of the species, and is designated BL-540 (ATCC 33623). L. jordanis had a partial relationship to L. bozemanii by direct fluorescent-antibody tests but was unrelated to L. pneumophila, L. dumoffii, L. micdadei, L. gormanii, or L. longbeachae. Legionella phenotypic characteristics, including large amounts of branched-chain cellular fatty acids, were shown by the isolates. Studies of DNA relatedness showed that the two cultures of L. jordanis were only slightly related to the six previously described species of Legionella but were more than 90% related to each other. Indirect fluorescent-antibody tests with human sera suggested that unrecognized human infections with L. jordanis may be occurring.
本文描述了在两种培养物中发现的约旦军团菌新种。其中一个分离株来自印第安纳州的河水，另一个分离株来自佐治亚州迪卡尔布县的污水。前者是该物种的模式菌株，命名为BL - 540（ATCC 33623）。通过直接荧光抗体试验，约旦军团菌与博兹曼军团菌有部分关联，但与嗜肺军团菌、杜莫夫军团菌、米德戴军团菌、戈尔曼军团菌或长滩军团菌无关。分离株显示出军团菌的表型特征，包括大量的支链细胞脂肪酸。DNA相关性研究表明，约旦军团菌的两种培养物与之前描述的六种军团菌仅存在轻微关联，但彼此之间的相关性超过90%。用人血清进行的间接荧光抗体试验表明，可能存在未被识别的约旦军团菌人类感染情况。
