The presence of Legionella spp. in cooling tower water was investigated by using the polymerase chain reaction. Total Legionella spp. detection was performed with 20-mer 5S rRNA complementary DNA sequence primers, and specific Legionella pneumophila detection was performed with 20-mer and then 21-mer macrophage infectivity potentiator gene sequence primers. Of 27 cooling tower water samples, 25 were positive for Legionella spp., and 14 of these contained L. pneumophila.
采用聚合酶链反应对冷却塔水中军团菌属的存在情况进行了调查。使用20聚体5S rRNA互补DNA序列引物进行军团菌属的总体检测,使用20聚体然后是21聚体巨噬细胞感染增强基因序列引物进行嗜肺军团菌的特异性检测。在27份冷却塔水样中,25份军团菌属检测呈阳性,其中14份含有嗜肺军团菌。
