Answer the following:
Why do we need to transport the throat swab using transport culture medium?
Bacterial (e.g., S. pneumoniae) pneumonia is commonly manifested by a cough productive of
sputum, whereas with atypical (e.g., Mycoplasma pneumoniae) pneumonia, the cough is usually
nonproductive or absent.
Explain.
Patient TM is 65 years of age and was recently given a 13C-Urea breath test
due to recent gastrointestinal discomfort.
What type of bacterial infection is patient TM suspected to have contracted? Give a rationale for the diagnostic test performed and comment on when this test may produce a false negative result.

- At autopsy, the most prominent findings were bronchopneumonia with focal organization and hemorrhage in the right lung. Stains of the lung tissue were negative by Gram, methenamine silver, and acid-fast methods, but Dieterle silver stains revealed short bacilli. Lung cultures yielded Gram-negative bacilli, which grew aerobically on buffered charcoal-yeast extract, but not on blood or chocolate agar. The organisms resembled Legionella, but failed to stain with immunofluorescence conjugates for Legionella pneumophila and multiple other species (L minded, L longbeachae, L gormanii, L dumoffi, L bozemanii). The organism was sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where it was eventually identified as a new species of Legionella. What is the most probable source of this man's infection?
