A PCR test identifies traces of living or dead Legionella bacteria. Owners of all towers with positive initial results must immediately drain, clean, and disinfect their cooling towers to reduce the risk of further exposure. In addition to the PCR screening tests, another more conclusive type of test, a culture test, is also being conducted for all sampled cooling towers. Culture tests take up to two weeks for results and will confirm which cooling towers had live Legionella bacteria growing at the time the water sample was collected. N Y C Health logo.
