Interpreting the Results
Positive Results:
A positive test result indicates that Legionella pneumophilaserogroup1bacteriawerepresentinthesample
abovethedetectionlimit.
Thetestdoesnotdifferentiatebetweenviable(living)andnon-viable(dead)organisms.Thetestwilldetectvi-
ablebutnon-cultruablebacteriawhicharenotdetectablebytraditionallaboratorytechniques.Apositiveresult
doesnotnecessarilymeanthatviablebacteriaarepresent.
Whenapositiveresultisobserved,seekadvicefromyourriskmanagementplan,orwatertreatmentspecialist.
Negative Results:
A negative test result indicates that Legionella pneumophilaserogroup1bacteriawerenotdetectedorthe
numberofbacteriainthesamplewerebelowthedetectionlimit.
A negative result does not necessarily mean that Legionella bacteriaareabsent.
AnegativeresultdoesnotmeanthatthesystemiscompletelyfreefromrisksassociatedwithLegionella bacte-
ria. The test only detects Legionella pneumophilaserogroup1.Thetestdoesnotdetectthepresenceofother
Legionella species or serogroups.
