Persistent contamination of a hospital hot water network by Legionella pneumophila

We assessed the contamination with Legionella pneumophila (Lp) of the hot water network (HWN) of a hospital, mapped the risk of contamination, and evaluated the relatedness of isolates. We further validated phenotypically the biological features that could account for the contamination of the networ...

Description
Summary:We assessed the contamination with Legionella pneumophila (Lp) of the hot water network (HWN) of a hospital, mapped the risk of contamination, and evaluated the relatedness of isolates. We further validated phenotypically the biological features that could account for the contamination of the network.
