Description

Rapidly differentiate and confirm the identity of predominant Legionella serogroups grown on selective media by latex agglutination using Thermo Scientific™ Legionella Latex Test.

Use this latex agglutination test for the identification of predominant Legionella species grown on plated media from patients with suspected Legionellosis or from environmental sources. The test allows separate identification of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 and serogroups 2-14 and detection of seven other Legionella species which have been implicated in human disease.
