摘要：

A polyvalent conjugate for Legionella pneumophila, the Legionnaires' disease bacterium, was prepared by combining monospecific antibodies for the four recognized serogroups of L. pneumophila. Pure cultures of L. pneumophila and other bacteria representing 18 genera and 50 species of heterologous organisms were used in evaluating the reagent. A total of 358 specimens from patients suspected of having Legionnaires' disease also were tested. The results show the practicality and advantages of using a polyvalent L. pneumophila conjugate for screening clinical specimens. © 1979 Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
