Details

The legionella molecular scheme includes samples containing a range of different serogroups of Legionella pneumophila and Legionella spp. other than L.pneumophila.

This scheme focuses on raising awareness on the:

• molecular methods used
• variations of the molecular methods used which can subsequently highlight differences in PT results obtained
• limitation of molecular methods available on the market
• updates in ISO methods
