Development of a PCR Assay for the Detection of Legionella micdadei in the Environment
This PCR assay enables accurate detection of <i>L. micdadei</i> and is not subject to competition with other <i>Legionella</i> spp., thereby addressing limitations of current broad-spectrum <i>Legionella</i> approaches. The evaluation supports its application in environmental detection for surveillance.
