Quantification of<i>Legionella pneumophila</i>in building potable water systems: a meta-analysis comparing qPCR and culture-based detection methods

2024-05-04

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) offers a rapid, automated, and potentially on-site method for quantifying L. pneumophila in building potable water systems, complementing and potentially replacing traditional culture-based techniques. However, the application of qPCR in assessing human health risks is complicated by its tendency to overestimate such risks due to the detection of genomic copies that do...
