  • non-lactose fermenting
  • urease positive
  • oxidase negative
  • faculative anaerobe
  • grows best and is motile at 25°C (non-motile 37°C)

Disease - enterocolitis; from ingestion contaminated food and drink (raw milk, raw pork, etc.) Symptoms are fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea which may be watery and bloody.

question
Legionella pneumophila
answer
  • Gram-negative coccobacilli (in tissue and stain poorly, silver staining is better); pleomorphic on laboratory media
  • fastidious; requires enriched media containing iron and cysteine w/absorbants to remove fatty acids
  • diagnosis based on antibody detection (commonly) 

Disease: Legionnaires' disease; atypical pneumonia; Transmission: saprophyte inhalation of contaminated water from showers, air conditioning, cooling towers.
