Isolation of Legionella anisa using an amoebic coculture procedure.
Conventional diagnostic tests for legionellosis were negative for a 61-year-old immunocompromised man with pneumonia. However, coculture of a sputum sample with Acanthamoeba polyphaga amoebae led to the recovery of Legionella anisa. This procedure may be a sensitive and convenient diagnostic method, especially for non-Legionella pneumophila species infections that can be diagnosed only by culture.

Legionella anisa is a gammaproteobacterium from the class Legionellaceae, which is responsible for nosocomial pneumonia. We sequenced the genome from the L. anisa strain Linanisette, which was recovered from a clinical sample using an amoebal coculture procedure but not with standard culture methods.

متن کاملOsteomyelitis of the patella caused by Legionella anisa.
A 51-year-old man with a history of stage IV angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma was diagnosed with osteomyelitis of the patella. Legionella anisa was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and culture. The patient had pneumonia 2 months prior to this osteomyelitis episode. L. anisa was retrospectively detected in his lung tissue by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and was considered the source of the L...
