| Popis: | 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. |
