Detection of Legionella spp. and Legionella pneumophila in water samples of Spain by specific real-time PCR.
[legionellosis]
Legionella
pneumophila
is
the
primary
cause
of

In
this
study
,
methodologies
based
on
molecular
biology
were
developed
in
order
to
provide
a
quick
diagnosis
of
the
bacterial
presence
in
water
samples
of
Spain
.
Multiplex
real-time
polymerase
chain
reaction
assays
were
realized
to
target
the
16
S
rRNA
and
macrophage
infectivity
potentiator
(
mip
)
genes
of
,
respectively
,
Legionella
spp

and
