We compared the growth of 28 Legionella spp. on four manufacturers' buffered charcoal-yeast extract (BCYE) agar media and selective BCYE media that contained polymyxin B, anisomycin, and vancomycin or cefamandole. With BCYE as a "gold standard," grow

The standard selective Legionella medium that contains cefamandole failed to grow legionella pneumophila serogroup 1, subtype Bellingham, from a sputum sample from a patient with nosocomial Legionnaires' disease; the isolate did grow on a similar sel

Three commercial diagnostic fluorescein-labeled antibodies, one monoclonal and two polyclonal, were compared to evaluate their abilities to detect Legionella pneumophila in environmental samples. The monoclonal conjugate failed to detect L. pneumophi

We describe a case of culture-proven Legionnaires' disease (serogroup 1) in which a rapid diagnosis was made by detection of Legionella antigen in pleural fluid by use of the Binax radioimmunoassay for urine.

A case of community-acquired pneumonia caused by Legionella dumoffii in a patient with hairy cell leukemia is described. Diagnosis was confirmed by isolation by culture of sputum and broncho-alveolar lavage specimens, positive direct fluorescent anti

Nocardia asteroides was isolated only from sputum samples, obtained from three patients with pulmonary nocardiosis, that had been cultured onto buffered charcoal-yeast extract (BCYE) and selective BCYE media as part of laboratory workups for Legionel

To determine the natural history of colonization by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among patients in a long-term care facility. We specifically sought to determine if MRSA colonization was predictive of subsequent infection.Cohort

Environmental and clinical isolates of Legionella pneumophila obtained from the Pittsburgh Veterans Administration Medical Center were studied for the presence of plasmids and for unique surface antigens. The majority of environmental isolates contai

A systematic study of pigment production (browning) and fluorescence (extracellular yellow-green and intracellular blue-white) by nine Legionellaceae species was performed. A total of 56 strains representing Tatlockia micdadei (Pittsburgh pneumonia a

Five strains of bacteria (strains 684, 687, U7W, U8W, and MICU-B) that were biochemically and morphologically indistinguishable from Legionella pneumophila were recovered from the environment. Strains U7W, U8W, and MICU-B were antigenically identical
