Limited Applicability of Direct Fluorescent-Antibody Testing for Bordetella sp. and Legionella sp. Specimens for the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory

24 May 2007

Abstract excerpt

The rapid diagnosis of infections with Bordetella and Legionella species is important for patient management. With observed increases in direct fluorescent-antibody (DFA) testing volumes, we retrospectively compared the performance characteristics of DFA testing to those of culture and PCR. For Bordetella sp., samples were classified as positive by DFA testing (184 [3%] of 6,195 samples) and culture (150 [2%] of...
