Detection performance of PCR for Legionella pneumophila in environmental samples: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Xin Yin et al.

Summary: Legionellosis remains a public health problem, with PCR showing high efficiency and accuracy in detecting L. pneumophila. Analysis of 18 four-fold tables from 16 studies revealed a sensitivity of 94% for PCR in diagnosing L. pneumophila.

Comparison of Updated Methods for Legionella Detection in Environmental Water Samples

Daniela Toplitsch et al.

Summary: The study compares ISO 11731:2017 with qPCR assays targeting Legionella spp., Legionella pneumophila, and Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1. In samples with a high burden of accompanying microbial flora, qPCR shows an excellent negative predictive value for Legionella pneumophila, making it an excellent tool for pre-selection of negative samples.
