Abstract
We report what we believe to be the first clinical isolation of Legionella rubrilucens from a pneumonia patient co-infected with Legionella pneumophila. L. rubrilucens strains were found in both a patient's sputum and the water of a hot spring in which the patient bathed, and DNA analysis by PFGE showed that they were indistinguishable.
