Flushing of stagnant premise water systems after the COVID-19 shutdown can reduce infection risk by <i>Legionella</i> and <i>Mycobacterium</i> spp

2020-09-15

Abstract excerpt

The unprecedented widespread closing of buildings due to the COVID-19 pandemic has allowed water to stagnate in premise plumbing systems, creating conditions that may facilitate the growth of opportunistic pathogens. In this study, we flushed and collected samples from showers in buildings that had been unoccupied for approximately two months and quantified Legionella pneumophila using a commercial cultivation-bas...
