title: Whole-cell peroxidase test for identification of Legionella pneumophila.
abstract: A simple combined peroxidase-catalase test has been developed which is applicable to live bacterial cells. Known strains of Legionella pneumophila were differentiated from other species of Legionella by being peroxidase positive and catalase negative.
