Legionnella
''Legionella'' is a genus of pathogenic gram-negative bacteria that includes the species '' L. pneumophila'', causing legionellosis (all illnesses caused by ''Legionella'') including a pneumonia-type illness called Legionnaires' disease and a mild flu-like illness called Pontiac fever. ''Legionella'' may be visualized with a silver stain or cultured in cysteine-containing media such as buffered charcoal yeast extract agar. It is common in many environments, including soil and aquatic systems, with at least 50 species and 70 serogroups identified. These bacteria, however, are not transmissible from person to person; furthermore, most people exposed to the bacteria do not become ill. Most outbreaks are traced to poorly maintained cooling towers. The side chains of the cell wall carry the bases responsible for the somatic antigen specificity of these organisms. The chemical composition of these side chains both with respect to components and arrangement of the different sugars ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Legionella Jordanis
''Legionella jordanis'' is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus ''Legionella'' which was isolated from the Clear Creek (Salt Creek)#Water quality issues, Jordan River in Bloomington, Indiana, Bloomington, Indiana and from the sewage in DeKalb County, Georgia. ''L. jordanis'' is a rare human pathogen and can cause respiratory tract infections. History ''Legionella jordanis'' strain BL-540 was first isolated from water samples taken at the Jordan River in Bloomington, Indiana by Cherry et al. in 1978. Another strain characterized as ABB-9 was discovered in 1980 from sewage collected in DeKalb County, Georgia. The species, specific epithet ''jordanis'' was derived from the name of the river in which was discovered. The two strains were both Gram staining, Gram-stained. The Sudan black B fat stain for lipids and the Schaeffer–Fulton stain, Wirtz-Conklin method were used to demonstrate Bacterial spore, spore formation. Acid-fast staining was used, as well. The cultures were strea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
