ABSTRACT:
Nucleic acid sequences which hybridize preferentially to the 16S or 23S rRNA or rDNA of Legionella sp., L. pneumophila, L. micdadei, a L. pneumophila, or a Legionella subset are taught. These organisms are the etiological agents of Legionnaires' disease, Pontiac fever, Pittsburgh pneumonia and other infections. The nucleic acids are useful in the detection of these pathogenic microorganisms. Probes based on these sequences and kits containing the probes are also disclosed.
