Isolation of Legionella pneumophila from Tehran Hospital Water Samples
Over a Period of three months (summer), 108 samples of water collected from four hospitals in Te-hran. They were taken from numerous potable and non-potable water, including main supply cis-terns, calorifiers, hot and cold tap water, shower, cooling tower and drain of air condition system. Culturing of concentrated and non-concentrated water samples on Buffered Charcoal Yeast Extract (BCYE) Aga...
متن کاملIsolation of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 from blood with nonsupplemented blood culture bottles.
Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 was isolated from antemortem aerobic blood culture bottles not supplemented with L-cysteine or ferric pyrophosphate and from the postmortem lung tissue of a 72-year-old man. We recommend that aerobic blood culture bottles (Johnston Laboratories, Cockeysville, Md.) of BACTEC be subcultured to an agar that supports the growth of L. pneumophila when growth indexe...

متن کاملIsolation of plasmids in Legionella pneumophila and Legionella-like organisms.
Agarose gel electrophoresis was employed to screen nine strains of Legionella-like bacteria and one strain of Legionella pneumophila for the presence of extrachromosomal deoxyribonucleic acid. Cryptic plasmids with molecular weights ranging from 46.6 x 10(6) to 59.8 x 10(6) were found in three of the isolates examined.
