17 April 2019 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, n ew 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 detection of legionella based diseases. This is the factor expected to further fuel the legionella testing market over the forecast period.
