About this kit

Legionella pneumophila is a pathogenic species of gram-negative bacteria. It can infect the lungs and cause Legionnaire’s Disease. Legionella pneumophila is sometimes detected in water sources such as cooling towers and swimming pools. PCR to amplify the gene mip has been published and is highly specific for Legionella. The primers provided in the kit have been validated at Biotium for real-time qPCR using Forget-Me-Not™ EvaGreen® qPCR Master Mix.
