Potable water was cultured from all rooms in which patients had stayed prior to the diagnosis of Legionnaires' disease. The 38 isolates of<jats:italic>L. pneumophila<\/jats:italic>(31 environmental, 7 patient) were resolved into 9 distinct patterns by pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), 3 by plasmid content and 2 each with monoclonal antibodies and conventional agarose gel electrophoresis of small fragments of DNA.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Using PFGE it was determined that 4 of the 7 patients were infected with<jats:italic>L. pneumophila<\/jats:italic>identical to an isolate recovered from the potable water supply in one of the rooms each had occupied prior to the diagnosis of Legionnaires' disease. Patients had resided in a mean of 3\u00b757 rooms before a diagnosis of nosocomial Legionnaires' disease.
