A rapid and reliable method for early Legionella pneumophila identification and characterization in support of the epidemiology study
The assays validated in this study enable the simultaneous Lp and Lp1 detection. The differentiation of Lp strains according to their virulence properties could be useful to predict the bacterial ability to survive and to cause the disease.
