About Legionella and its growing threat
Legionnaires’ disease, caused by the bacterium Legionella, is a serious form of pneumonia. The first documented Legionnaires’ disease outbreak was traced to a Philadelphia hotel in 1976. Since the year 2000, the rate of reported cases of Legionnaires’ disease in the United States has surged by nearly nine times. However, nearly all outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease are linked to preventable issues related to water management.
