Legionella Testing

Global Legionella Testing Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Test Type (Culture Method, Urine Antigen Test (UAT), Direct Fluorescent-Antibody (DFA) Staining, Immunofluorescence Assay (Direct and Indirect), Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Other Tests) by End-User (Hospitals, Diagnostic Laboratories, and Clinics) and Forecast, 2019-2025Legionella bacteria are present in water and is a prime source of legionnaires disease in human. Legionella testing is a method to detect such bacteria at an early stage so as to prevent the prevalence of pneumonia in population. In this either urine sample or a sputum sample is taken for examination depending on the method adopted for the test. A blood test is usually not used nowadays for legionella bacteria; however, it is still used as an alternative in some of the laboratories. Such tests are usually recommended to a person with a headache, high fever, abnormal pain, and nausea.
Legionella bacteria spreads through the mist, such as from air-conditioning units, hot tubs, and mist sprayers in the grocery store. As the standard of living of the population increases across the globe, the adoption of air-conditioning units and hot tubs will increase which may lead to cause Legionnaires’ disease.
Technological advancements are expected to drive improvement in the efficiency of such diagnostic alternatives such as legionella testing. This is expected to promote the growth of the market in the near future. However, methods such as DFA staining are not being implemented in the recent past due to the numerous disadvantages such as low sensitivity and need of significantly large sample.
