Legionella pneumophila by using qPCR. Legionella pneumophila is the primary human pathogenic bacterium in this group and is the causative agent of legionellosis or Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia. L. pneumophila is found naturally in most freshwater sources, including lakes, ponds, and rivers. It is found in cooling towers, plumbing systems, water heaters, and warm water spas. It has also been isolated from soil samples.

Legionella species by using qPCR. The genus Legionella is a pathogenic group of gram negative bacterium that includes the species L. pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires Disease, and L. longbeachae which causes Pontiac Fever. Legionella is common in many environments, including soil and aquatic systems. In humans, the species L. pneumophila invades and replicates in macrophages.
