environmental water samples is necessary to prevent these epidemic events, but the traditional culture‐based detection and identification method requires up to 10 days. Reported herein is a method allowing identification of Legionella pneumophila by metabolic lipopolysaccharide labeling which targets, for the first time, a precursor to monosaccharides that are specifically present within the O‐antigen of
嗜肺军团菌是一种致病性细菌,与定期爆发有关,其特征是相对较高的死亡率和重要的社会影响。为了防止这些流行病,必须经常监测环境
水样中这种细菌的存在,但是传统的基于培养物的检测和鉴定方法需要长达10天的时间。本文报道了一种通过代谢脂
多糖标记鉴定嗜肺军团菌的方法,该方法首次靶向特异性存在于细菌O抗原中的
单糖前体。这种新方法可以轻松检测活的军团菌肺炎衣原体,而其他军团菌 物种未标记。
