Tatlockia

**退伍軍人症桿菌**是一類革蘭氏陰性菌，包括造成退伍軍人症的嗜肺性退伍軍人症桿菌。

退伍軍人症桿菌在許多環境中都很常見，已確定的至少有 50 個種和 70 個血清型。該屬菌細胞壁取代基所攜帶的基團標識了其體抗原。這些取代基的化學構成，包括其成分的不同以及糖原的不同排列方式，決定了其表面體抗原或是 O - 抗原的性質，而這正是血清學中對許多革蘭氏陰性菌分類的基本手段。

退伍軍人症桿菌的名字源於 1976 年 7 月在費城爆發的一種「神秘疾病」，該病共造成 221 人患病，34 人死亡，患者大都為美國退伍軍人，因而被冠名為退伍軍人症。退伍軍人症被廣泛宣傳而造成一定程度的恐慌。1977 年 1 月 18 日，該病的病原體被確定為一種不為人知的細菌，隨後被命名為退伍軍人症桿菌。
