Presence of <i>Legionella</i> spp. in cooling towers: the role of microbial diversity, <i>Pseudomonas</i> , and continuous chlorine application

2019-02-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Legionnaire’s Disease (LD) is a severe pneumonia caused by Legionella pneumophila . Cooling towers are the main source of L. pneumophila during large outbreaks. Colonization, survival, and proliferation of L. pneumophila in cooling towers are necessary for outbreaks to occur. These steps are affected by chemical and physical parameters of the cooling tower environment. We hypothesize that the...
