[Serologic characteristic of Legionella pneumophila strains isolated from potentially dangerous water systems in Russian Federation in 2007 - 2011].

Aim: Study serologic diversity of Legionella pneumophila strains circulating in potentially dangerous water systems in Russian Federation by using an international panel of monoclonal antibodies.

Materials And Methods: Serotyping of 234 L. pneumophila strains isolated from coolers of industrial facilities and systems of hot water supply in Russian Federation in 2007 - 2011 was performed by enzyme immunoassay by using an international panel of monoclonal antibodies.
