Research paper thumbnail of Real-time PCR assay targets the 23S-5S spacer for direct detection and differentiation of Legionella spp. and Legionella pneumophila

Journal of clinical …, Jan 1, 2003

A real-time PCR for the ABI Prism 7000 system targeting the 23S-5S spacer of Legionella spp. was ... more A real-time PCR for the ABI Prism 7000 system targeting the 23S-5S spacer of Legionella spp. was developed. Simultaneous detection and differentiation of Legionella spp. and Legionella pneumophila within 90 min and without post-PCR melting-curve analysis was achieved using two TaqMan probes. In sputum samples from 23 controls and 17 patients with legionellosis, defined by positive culture, urinary antigen testing, or seroconversion, 94% sensitivity and 100% specificity were observed.

The identification of legionellae by standard laboratory techniques such as culture is difficult and time-consuming.
