Strategies and Forecasts, 2014 To 2020

The global legionella testing market is expected to grow at a considerable rate over the forecast period

owing to the advancements and automation in the immunodiagnostic market such as the introduction

of advanced ELISA antibodies for the prevention of legionnaires diseases in the market. The rapidly

rising awareness about legionella based diseases and the increase in demand for advanced

immunodiagnostic techniques is a direct consequence of rapidly increasing incidences of mild flu and

pneumonia like diseases through legionella bacteria.

Since legionella bacteria requires the presence of iron and cysteine to grow, it is traditionally detected

by culture on buffered charcoal yeast extract. This process takes 4 to 5 days for detecting the legionella

bacteria. The advanced immunological techniques such as polymerase chain reaction and rapid

immunological assays are efficient to detect the legionella bacteria in few minutes. These techniques are

commonly used to establish the presence of species of Legionella bacteria in the sample.

Some of the other drivers for the growth of the global legionella testing market include the entry of new

players, new emerging economies such as China and India and increase in the funding for healthcare

facilities by the government in many regions. There are about 40 different species of legionella bacteria

out of which 18 species are infectious. Among all these species, the legionella pneumophilla bacterium

can cause most of the diseases. Many hospitals have started various tests such as legionella urinary

antigen test for the initial...
