ABOUT LEGIONELLA
Legionnaires’ disease or Legionellosis is a potentially
fatal form of pneumonia.
People may get infected when they breathe in tiny water droplets
(aerosols) or droplet nuclei (particles left after the water has evaporated)
contaminated with elevated concentrations of Legionella bacteria.
Legionella bacteria grow best between temperatures of 20°C – 45°C,
with optimum growth temperature being 35°C – 40°C.
High temperatures (minimum 60°C) usually kill the bacteria.
​
Legionella bacteria are found in low numbers in natural
aquatic environments, for instance, lakes, rivers and ground water.
As a result, it is virtually impossible to prevent Legionella bacteria
entering man-made water systems.
​
In low numbers the bacteria are generally considered harmless.
With the correct conditions, for example, warm water, the presence
of micro-organisms and nutrients in the water or materials such as rust,
these bacteria can grow and multiply to high levels which increase
the risk of exposure.
​
The bacteria tend to grow in biofilms (slime).
Biofilms are likely to form on surfaces where there is low water flow
or water is allowed to stagnate. However the growth of Legionella
bacteria can be controlled.
