nosocomial outbreak of legionnaires' disease: molecular epidemiology and disease control measures.	molecular laboratory techniques were used to study the epidemiology of an outbreak of nosocomial legionnaires' disease. all patient isolates were legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 and showed identical plasmid profiles and reactions with serogroup-specific monoclonal antibodies. l pneumophila was also cultured from four of five cooling tower water samples; however, the isolate from only one tower was serogroup 1 of the same subtype as patient isolates. since the cases were temporally clustered a ...	1987	3030951
amoebae and legionella pneumophila in saline environments.	amoeboid protists that harbor bacterial pathogens are of significant interest as potential reservoirs of disease-causing organisms in the environment, but little is known about them in marine and other saline environments. we enriched amoeba cultures from sediments from four sites in the new england estuarine system of mt. hope bay, massachusetts and from sediments from six sites in the great salt lake, utah. cultures of amoebae were enriched using both minimal- and non-nutrient agar plates, mad ...	2011	21301113
