Abstract
This study compares the performance of a novel most probable number (MPN) method (Legiolert™/Quanti-Tray) with Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater 9260 J for the enumeration of Legionella pneumophila from potable and nonpotable waters. Data from the study showed that Legiolert exhibited higher sensitivity for the detection of L. pneumophila for potable water and equivalent sensitivity for nonpotable water. The Legiolert medium had a high specificity with no false positive signals reported for either water type. The new method represents a significant improvement in usability and accuracy in the enumeration of L. pneumophila.
