TUM has the following goals in the project 1. Detection of the current status of exhaust air purification systems in livestock farming, which can potentially be contaminated with Legionella. 2. Establishment of a quick and easy hygiene control using an automated microarray-based molecular biological rapid test (with integrated live / dead differentiation and upstream concentration method) for the culture-independent quantification of Legionella on site. 3. Evaluation of the measurement method with process water and bio-aerosol samples from a wide variety of plants 4. Evaluation of the automated sandwich microarray immunoassay (LegioTyper) for rapid serotyping of Legionella pneumophila in agricultural exhaust air purification systems TUM is working on the following work packages: AP 1: Establishment of a Legionella rapid test for the investigation of exhaust air purification systems. AP 3: Use of the legionella rapid test to check the time and situation-dependent legionella growth in exhaust air purification systems over 1 year. AP 5: Use of the Legionella rapid test to check the time and situation-dependent growth of Legionella in exhaust air purification systems over 1 year.
