Clinical application of a multiplex real-time PCR assay for simultaneous detection of Legionella species, Legionella pneumophila, and Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1.
[legionellosis]
We
developed
a
single
-tube
multiplex
real-time
PCR
assay
capable
of
simultaneously
detecting
and
discriminating
Legionella
spp
.
,
Legionella
pneumophila
,
and
Legionella
pneumophila
serogroup
1
in
primary
specimens
.
Evaluation
of
21
clinical
specimens
and
115
clinical
isolates
demonstrated
this
assay
to
be
a
rapid
,
high
-throughput
diagnostic
test
with
100
%
specificity
that
may
aid
during
legionellosis
outbreaks
and
epidemiologic
investigations
.
