Legionella in clinical specimens and hospital water supply facilities: molecular detection and genotyping of the isolates.

Medical principles and practice : international journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre - 1 Jan 2008

Qasem J A, Mustafa A S, Khan Z U

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate genus- and species-specific polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) for the detection of the genus Legionella and the species Legionella pneumophila in clinical specimens and hospital water supplies, and to establish a simple and reproducible random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR technique for genotyping of Legionella. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 70 respiratory tract...
