摘要
A typing method based on analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms has previously been developed for Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1. Here data are presented demonstrating the utility of this method for typing strains of all other L. pneumophila serogroups described to date. The method, which is highly discriminatory, should be of considerable value in epidemiological investigations of legionella infections. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
