Abstract
A PMA (propidium monoazide) pretreatment protocol, in which PMA is applied directly to membrane filters, was developed for the PCR-based quantification (PMA-qPCR) of viable Legionella pneumophila. Using this method, the amplification of DNA from membrane-damaged L. pneumophila was strongly inhibited for samples containing a small number of dead bacteria.Entities:
