摘要: Flow cytometry, using fluorescein-bound specific antibodies and propidium iodide, was shown to be effective in detecting Legionella spp. cooling tower waters. The procedure quicker less labor intensive than fluorescent microscopy. use of these procedures also identified qualitative differences, perhaps related infectivity, populations.
