ABSTRACT:
Methods and compositions detect and quantify viableLegionella. Dip-slides that include an absorbent medium, growth promoting, and growth selective substances are useful in rapid detection and quantification of microcolonies ofLegionella. Most probable number method of detection and quantification ofLegionellaare disclosed.
