Detection of Legionella species in respiratory specimens using PCR with sequencing confirmation.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 May 2000

Cloud J L, Carroll K C, Pixton P, Erali M, Hillyard D R

Abstract excerpt

Legionella spp. are a common cause of community-acquired respiratory tract infections and an occasional cause of nosocomial pneumonia. A PCR method for the detection of legionellae in respiratory samples was evaluated and was compared to culture. The procedure can be performed in 6 to 8 h with a...
