A new and as yet unidentified bacterium was isolated from the lung tissue of a cancer patient with bilateral pneumonia. Clinically, the pneumonia was consistent with legionellosis; the organism cultured from the lung grew only on the charcoal-yeast extract agar routinely used for Legionella isolation. Subsequent testing, however, showed the organism to be quite distinct from the known Legionella species in its biochemical, antigenic, and growth characteristics.
从一名患有双侧肺炎的癌症患者的肺组织中分离出一种新的、尚未鉴定的细菌。临床上,该肺炎与军团菌病相符;从肺中培养出的微生物仅在常用于分离军团菌的活性炭酵母提取物琼脂上生长。然而,后续测试表明,该微生物在生化、抗原和生长特性方面与已知的军团菌种类有很大不同。
