Abstract
Serogroups of Legionella pneumophila exhibited differential reactivities with plant agglutinin. Agglutination patterns were modified by growing the organisms in different media. The passage of four strains through guinea pigs did not result in altered reactivities with lectins or with plant agglutinins.
