Which Legionella Test is Right for You?
| Method | Best For | Turnaround | Pros | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISO Culture | Compliance, outbreak forensics | 7 days* | Gold standard; detects 20+ species | Slower results (pair with qPCR for speed) |
| CDC Culture | Compliance, validation testing | 7 days* | High accuracy; 16 L. pneumophila serogroups | Longer TAT than qPCR |
| qPCR | Rapid outbreak detection | 1-2 days | Fastest method; all Legionella species | Cannot confirm live bacteria |
| Legiolert® | Simplified L. pneumophila detection | 7 days | Easy to use; low lab skill needed | False positives in non-potable water |
*Some states (e.g., NY, CT) require extended turnaround times.
