Numerical analysis of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles of 199 isolates and 76 reference strains, belonging to all validly described species of the genusLegionella that can be cultured in laboratory media, was used to differentiate between the species of this genus. With the exception of the strains that autofluoresced red, it was possible to differentiate all the otherLegionella species. The strains of the speciesL. bozemanii ,L. dumoffii ,L. feeleii ,L. gormanii ,L. maceachernii ,L. micdadei , andL. quinlivanii did not form single clusters, showing some degree of variability in the fatty acid compositions. The strains of the blue-white autofluorescent species had very similar fatty acid compositions and were difficult to distinguish from each other. Nine isolates had fatty acid profiles unlike those of any of the validly described species and may represent different FAME groups of known species or undescribedLegionella species. The method used in this study was useful for screening and discriminating large number of isolates ofLegionella species. Moreover, the results obtained can be included in a database of fatty acid profiles, leading to a more accurate automatic identification ofLegionella isolates.
