The attachment and/or penetration of animal cells by two strains of Legionella pneumophila was studied in three vertebrae cell lines in vitro . The study focused on (1) differences in attachment and penetration between the two bacterial strains (an environmental isolate, Johannesburg-2, and a clinical isolate, Chicago-8) and between the cell lines (Hep-2, WI-38 and a murine line); (2) effects of L. pneumophila on cell morphology and growth; and (3) the effects of pyruvate and six sugars or sugar derivatives (D-mannose, D-Galactose, D-Glucose, L-glucose, D-fructose, and 2-deoxy-D-glucose).
