ABSTRACT

Deoxyribonucleic acid from Legionella pneumophila showed little or no relatedness to deoxyribonucleic acids from members of the families Cytophagaceae and "Pasteurellaceae" (not on Approved Lists of Bacterial Names [Skerman et al., ed., Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol 30:225–420, 1980]) or from Kingella kingae. These data support the recent recognition of L. pneumophila as a new species.
