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