Abstract
Twenty-two red-autofluorescent Legionella strains were identified serologically as either Legionella rubrilucens or L. erythra. A rRNA probe was used for restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the strains and the patterns generated were used as an additional method of identifying the strains to species level. In two instances strains which were identified as L. rubrilucens by serology appeared to belong to the species L. erythra by RFLP analysis. This apparent contradiction was resolved by measurements of DNA/DNA homology which confirmed the existence of a second serogroup of L. erythra serologically indistinguishable from L. rubrilucens.Entities:
