FIELD: biotechnologies.SUBSTANCE: method includes the following stages: contact of a sample with a source of nutrition for cells, containing antioxidant, representing pyroracemic acid or its salt, and an inhibitor of cell proliferation, which is selected from ciprofloxacin and cefalexin; contact of the specified sample with fluorescent-marked oligonucleotide probes, capable of specific hybridisation at least with one section of ribosomal nucleic acids, which belong to microorganisms of Legionella pneumophila kind and type; and detection and quantitative determination of a fluorescent signal.EFFECT: provided method and set make it possible to more accurately and reliably detect and calculate viable microorganisms of Legionella pneumophila type, having excluded natural fluorescence of microorganisms from calculation.6 cl, 2 dwg, 6 tbl, 2 ex |
