? Gle - O antigen

nne,
Am not sure about "LEG" as it refers to bacteria. I was able to find only "Gle" associated with a bacillus, but I doubt in SP. they'd write it "LEG":

Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the major capsid proteins of Lactobacillus
bacteriophage phi **gle** . Gene. 175(1-2):157-65, 1996 Oct 10.

Abstract
Bacteriophage phi **gle** was induced from a lysogenic Lactobacillus strain **Gle**. phi **gle** genome is double-stranded DNA of approximately 42.5 kilo-base (kb) pairs.


As for "O" they are talking about the "O" bacterial antigen:

Aldova E. Shimada T. New **O and H antigens** of the international antigenic scheme for Plesiomonas shigelloides. Folia Microbiologica. 45(4):301-4, 2000.

Abstract
A revised update of the International antigenic scheme for Plesiomonas shigelloides is presented. Twenty-six new **O (O77-O102) and 10 new H (H42-H50 and H1a1d) antigens** have been described since 1994. The sources of antigens are mostly human clinical strains, isolates from warmblooded animals and a few environmental cultures.

Legionella?

¿Puede ser Legionella? No es raro medir su antigenuria (antígenos en orina). No tengo ni idea de que puede ser O, a no ser que no sea una letra O sino un 0 (cero) y aún así no tiene mucho sentido 0 negativo.

" Son aplicables en esputo y en otros líquidos orgánicos. La antigenuria para Legionella es sensible y rápida. "

Un saludo.
