Pittsburgh pneumonia agent (PPA) was recently cultivated from infected egg yolk on charcoal yeast extract agar [CYEA]. PPA was isolated from infected egg yolk and human lung tissue on CYEA and on a new medium, buffered CYEA. PPA resembles Legionella pneumophila and other Legionella-like organism in requirements for growth and composition of fatty acids. It differs in genetic relatedness, antigenic composition and colonial morphology and has distinctive characteristics that allow it to be identified. The name L. pittsburgensis sp. nov. is proposed for this organism.
