Field inversion gel electrophoretic analysis of Legionella pneumophila strains associated with nosocomial legionellosis in children

Year: 1996

Type: article

Abstract: Two nosocomial cases of Legionnaires' disease occurred in children. Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 was isolated from both patients and 30 of 39 plumbing system sites in the hospital. The patient and hospital environmental isolates yielded identical field inversion gel electrophoretic patterns which differed from patterns observed with epidemiologically unrelated strains.
