An evaluation of intergenic rRNA gene sequence length polymorphism analysis for the identification of Legionella species.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Aug 1998

Fry N K, Harrison T G

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 regions were amplified with primers complementary to conserved regions of the rRNA genes. Following electrophoretic...
