Two cases of Legionnaire's disease caused by Legionella oakridgensis were diagnosed at the university hospital in Nantes, France. The two patients' isolates were identified by means of phenotyping and genotyping methods. Epidemiological investigations concluded that the first case was hospital acquired while the second case was considered community acquired.
