Satellite growth of Legionella pneumophila with an environmental isolate of Flavobacterium breve

R M Wadowsky et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1983 Dec.

Abstract

Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 was observed to satellite around colonies of Flavobacterium breve on an L-cysteine-deficient medium which did not support growth of legionellae. Both isolates were recovered from the hot water tanks of hospitals. Ferric PPi stimulated satellite growth between 0.01 and 0.1%.
