Plouffe, J., M. Para, AND K. Fuller. SERUM BACTERICIDAL ACTIVITY AGAINST 'LEGIONELLA PNEUMOPHILA'. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-85/470 (NTIS PB87170122), 1985.
Description:
Two strains of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 (UH1 and RH1) were incubated in fresh human serum. The UH1 strain was serum-resistant, whereas the RH1 strain was serum-susceptible. The bactericidal activity of fresh serum was abrogated by heating. Serum resistance of L. pneumophila strains may correlate with increased virulence.
