Development of Knowledge About Legionella
• The first known outbreak • Discovery of the causative agent • Development of a medium to grow Legionella • Knowledge of the reservoir and transmission
of the bacterium • Realization that outbreaks still occur • Preventive measures?

Legionella PCR
10
Diagnosing legionellosis using nucleic acid detection
• Benefits – Legionella PCR could potentially detect all serogroups of L. pneumophila
• useful in the early diagnosis of infections, particularly in nosocomial cases – PCR methods could have important economic benefits.
• Their use in outbreaks of legionellosis could help to rapidly rule out implicated sites • Limitations of PCR assays
– Current data are insufficient for reliably estimating PCR sensitivity and specificity values, or for comparing PCR to other methods
– Requires evaluation and standardization of sample preparation and PCR protocols
• Define primer and probe specifications and assay sensitivities, and to reduce the effect of PCR inhibitors

Preventive Measures
• Cleaning and chlorination • Don’t make aerosols • Maintenance of cooling towers & water systems • Maintain hot tubs (spas) • Consideration of the engineering aspects • Follow guidelines • Connect surveillance and subtyping
