Molecular assay reagents intended to identify Legionella pneumophila, a bacterium of the family Legionellaceae, by detecting specific genetic information of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the target bacteria. Legionella pneumophila bacteria cause pneumonia-like disease (i.e., legionellosis) in humans, either as a serious illness (Legionnaire\'s disease) or in a milder form (Pontiac fever).
