La légionellose

Abstract: La légionellose a été décrite pour la première fois en 1976 à Philadelphie, aux États-Unis, à l'occasion d'une épidémie de pneumopathies graves survenant chez d'anciens légionnaires américains réunis en congrès. La bactérie responsable de la maladie, découverte à cette occasion et baptisée Legionella, était d'origine hydrique, comme l'a démontré l'enquête réalisée dans l'hôtel où se déroulait le congrès ; le réservoir en était le système de climatisation humide. Les malades possédaient pour la plupart des fact… Show more

“…It is consistent with previous studies that noted Lp‐1 as a dominate specie, and the most common isolates were cultured from environmental samples (Benson and Fields 1998; Drenning et al. 2001; Bouvet 2006). In comparison to the proportion range of Lp‐1 in other studies in China, the type of Legionella species determined in this study was more concentrative in Lp‐1.…”

“…The results are consistent with the optimal range of temperature (25–35°C) for Legionella reproduction, indicating a seasonal effect on growth and implying a need for increased monitoring of CTWs when the air temperature shifts into this range (Fields et al. 2002; Bouvet 2006). Such a seasonal variation may be due to the facts that Legionellae multiply faster in the warmer waters of summer and that the greater use of cooling towers in summer provides opportunities for dissemination.…”
