Abstract
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. Results. Membership of the isolated
strains in 14 L. pneumophila serogroups and in
7 subgroups of serogroup 1 was established.
Among the isolated cultures serogroup 1 and 6,
and Oxford and Heysham subgroup strains were
predominant. L. pneumophila serogroup 1 strains
were predominant in cooler water, and serogroup
6 - in the hot water supply systems. 7 L. pneumophila
strains of the serogroup 1 were typed by
monoclone MAb 3/1 associated with LPS
epitope that is characteristic for the most epidemically
significant legionella strains. Conclusion.
Typing by using international panel of
monoclonal antibodies for characteristic and
evaluation of epidemical significance of legionella
strains being isolated form potentially
dangerous water systems is the most informative
and methodically accessible to a wide range of
biological laboratories.
