Abstract excerpt
Representatives of the genus Legionella were detected by use of a real-time PCR method in all water samples collected directly after treatment from 16 surface water (SW) supplies prior to postdisinfection and from 81 groundwater (GW) supplies. Legionella concentrations ranged from 1.1 x 10(3) to 7.8 x 10(5) cells liter(-1) and were significantly higher in SW treated with multiple barriers at 4 degrees C than in...
