Abstract excerpt
There are currently more than 40 species of Legionella and the identification of most of these by standard methods is technically difficult. The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of a previously published PCR-based method of identifying Legionella spp. Intergenic 16S-23S rDNA spacer...
