| legionella sainthelensi serogroup 2 isolated from patients with pneumonia. | three legionella-like organisms isolated from patients with pneumonia are shown to belong to the species legionella sainthelensi by dna hybridization studies and to a new serogroup, serogroup 2, by serological studies (atcc 49322). l. sainthelensi serogroup 2 and l. santicrucis are indistinguishable by slide agglutination, but are separable on the basis of their cell wall fatty acid profiles. | 1990 | 2399367 |

| legionella sainthelensi: a new species of legionella isolated from water near mt. st. helens. | six strains of a new species, legionella sainthelensi, were isolated from freshwater in areas affected by the volcanic eruptions of mt. st. helens in the state of washington. strains of l. sainthelensi are culturally and biochemically similar to other legionellae. they grow on buffered charcoal yeast agar but not on media that lack cysteine. they are gram-negative, nonsporeforming, motile rods that are positive in reactions for catalase, oxidase, gelatin liquefaction, and beta-lactamase. they ar ... | 1984 | 6712210 |

| [rapid and simple detection of legionella species by lamp, a mew dna amplification method]. | legionella is a common cause of community-acquired respiratory tract infections and occasionally causes nosocomial pneumonia. rapid and accurate detection of legionellae is important for diagnosis and treatment of patients. in order to detect legionellae, a new dna amplification method was designed and evaluated. loop-mediated isothermal amplification (lamp) method amplifies dna with high specificity, sensitivity, and rapidity under isothermal conditions at 65 degrees c. this method employs a dn ... | 2003 | 14984304 |
