| Authors: | D L Smalley and D D Ourth |
| Abstract: | This investigation found that individuals with microagglutination antibody titers of 1:32 or greater to Legionella pneumophila produced bactericidal activity against the bacterium. Those individuals with microagglutination antibody titers of 1:16 or less demonstrated no bactericidal activity. |
