Legionella jordanis sp. nov., as found in two cultures, is described. One isolate was from river water in Indiana and the other isolate was from sewage in DeKalb County, Ga. The former is the type strain of the species, and is designated BL-540 (ATCC 33623). L. jordanis had a partial relationship to L. bozemanii by direct fluorescent-antibody tests but was unrelated to L. pneumophila, L. dumoffii, L. micdadei, L. gormanii, or L. longbeachae. Legionella phenotypic characteristics, including large amounts of branched-chain cellular fatty acids, were shown by the isolates. Studies of DNA relatedness showed that the two cultures of L. jordanis were only slightly related to the six previously described species of Legionella but were more than 90% related to each other. Indirect fluorescent-antibody tests with human sera suggested that unrecognized human infections with L. jordanis may be occurring.
