Dubai, UAE: Dubai Central Laboratory, affiliated with Dubai Municipality has

implemented a new artificial intelligence (AI) technology which is the first in

the region to seamlessly detect Legionella pulmonary bacteria, a form of

bacteria that causes several acute respiratory infections.

The method is both accurate and sustainable in identifying live colonies of this

type of bacteria. It also shows the results of the examination in specific

concentrations from the specimen, accurately quantifying the bacterial counts

to 99 per cent of the time. This also leads to faster completion rate of the work

due to fewer requirements for laboratory supplies.
