Abstract
Accurate and rapid detection of Legionella pneumophila in environmental water is crucial for public health. This research explores
diverse methods, from optimizing traditional culture media for improved recovery [1] to advanced molecular techniques. These
include sensitive electrochemical DNA biosensors [2], rapid Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) for on-site use [5],
precise digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) [9], and propidium monoazide-quantitative PCR (PMA-qPCR) to differentiate viable cells
[10]. Comparative studies show molecular methods offer speed, yet culture is vital for viability assessment [4, 6]. Metagenomics
provides comprehensive microbial insights [8]. The overall aim is enhancing surveillance and prevention, adapting to environmental
complexities for effective risk management.
