Abstract excerpt
The relationship between serogroup and genotype of Legionella pneumophila strains was investigated by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing with a previously standardised method. Of the 51 RFLP types identified, 19 comprised strains of more than one serogroup. Several RFLP types...
