Identification of legionella in the environment.
[legionellosis]
Legionella
is
ubiquitous
in
freshwater
systems
worldwide
and
can
also
be
found
in
soil
.
Legionellosis
may
be
caused
by
inhalation
of
aerosolized
water
or
soil
particles
containing
Legionella
.
Isolation
of
Legionella
from
the
environment
is
an
essential
step
in
outbreak
investigation
and
may
also
be
performed
within
the
context
of
a
hazard
analysis
and
control
risk
management
plan
.
Culture
remains
the
gold
standard
for
detection
of
Legionella
in
environmental
samples
.
Specific
properties
of
environmental
sites
that
could
be
a
source
of
Legionella
contamination
,
collection
of
samples
from
such
sites
,
and
procedures
for
culture
of
these
samples
for
Legionella
are
described
in
this
chapter
.
