Abstract
Continuous centrifugation of large volumes of water from natural southeastern lakes allowed quantitative detection of L. pneumophila by direct immunofluorescent staining. Positive samples were injected i.p. into guinea pig, and the L. pneumophila were isolated and identified by their morphological, cultural, physiological and serological characteristics.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
