A case of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 13 pneumonia based on the detection of serogroup-specific genes in culture-negative sputum
Jpn J Infect Dis. 2023 Nov 30. doi: 10.7883/yoken.JJID.2023.302. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLegionella pneumophila serogroup (SG) 1, the main cause of Legionnaires' disease, can be diagnosed with urinary antigen testing kits; however, lower respiratory tract specimen culture is necessary to identify L. pneumophila SG 2-15. We attempted to detect L. pneumophila SG-specific genes in a culture-negative sputum specimen from a patient with pneumonia suspected to have Legionnaires' disease. Two multiplex PCR methods targeting L. pneumophila were modified and amplicons considered to be SG13 specific were detected. Direct seque...
