Tatlockia (Legionella) micdadei, the Pittsburgh pneumonia agent, was isolated from a hospital shower. Although it was not possible, at the current time, to establish an epidemiological link to disease acquisition, this information may be significant because it provides further evidence that a water-associated reservoir of this organism exists within the hospital.
匹兹堡肺炎病原体米氏嗜肺军团菌(Tatlockia (Legionella) micdadei)是从医院淋浴喷头分离出来的。尽管目前尚无法确定其与疾病感染之间的流行病学关联,但这一信息可能具有重要意义,因为它进一步证明了该病原体在医院内存在与水相关的储存宿主。
