Water PCR test detection of Legionella and L. pneumophila in water samples. Water samples shall be concentrated according to ISO 11731. The kit is suitable for use in real time instruments with FAM, ROX and HEX/JOE detection channels.
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.
Aeromonas spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. The organisms are ubiquitous in fresh and brackish water. Have been associated with human diseases, gastroenteritis and wound infections.
