Recommended for targeted testing of Legionella pneumophila bacteria, including serotype identification and enumeration, in drinking water. Legionella is a gram-negative bacterium that often lives in still, warm water, but can survive under a wide range of temperatures and conditions. It can cause two diseases, Pontiac fever and Legionnaires' disease, collectively known as legionellosis. The majority of cases of legionellosis are caused by infection by Legionella pneumophila, particularly serogroup 1.
Legionella is most frequently found in air-conditioning units, faucets, pools, spas, showers and other water-related devices.
