- W4254177558 abstract "The majority of community epidemics of Legionnaire's disease (LD) are from Legionella -contaminated cooling towers or other aerosol-generating devices. Expectorated sputum and other lower respiratory specimens are the most common sources of Legionella spp. The identification techniques used by reference laboratories include serotyping using collections of antisera, biochemical characterization, and sequence-based identification. Typing of Legionella spp. is important for public health investigations to help link culture-positive environmental sites with clinical isolates during an epidemic of the disease. Sequence-based typing appears to be the most specific and precise molecular subtyping system for both L. pneumophila and L. pneumophila serogroup 1. A standardized pulsed-field gel electrophoresis method yields reproducible results and is used as a reference typing method by one national laboratory. The antimicrobial susceptibility of L. pneumophila grown in broth or on agar can give results that have no clinical correlation. This is because of the intracellular location of the bacterium in human infection, to which not all antimicrobial agents gain access and retain activity. Multiple laboratory methods have to be used for optimal laboratory diagnosis of LD. Culture of Legionella bacteria from sputum, lung, or other respiratory sites is the most specific (100%) method for diagnosis of the disease, very sensitive in severe untreated disease, and insensitive in those with mild disease." @default.
