Legionella micdadei
Introduction '''''Legionella micdadei''''' is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus ''Legionella'', which stains acid-fast. It stains weakly, but loses this trait upon being grown in culture. ''Tatlockia micdadei'' is an alternative term for ''L. micdadei'', the Pittsburgh pneumonia agent and TATLOCK strain. It is named after Joseph E. McDade, who first isolated ''L. pneumophila''.
