What are Legionella?

Legionella are a type of bacteria that upon exposure by respiration, can lead to a severe type of pneumonia. Pneumonia caused by legionella bacteria is referred to as a disease called Legionellosis, or Legionnaire's disease. Legionellosis is a very serious type of pneumonia that can have high mortality rates, if not diagnosed properly and treated promptly with strong antibiotics. The legionella organism is an aerobic, rod-shaped, Gram negative bacterium which is common to aquatic systems, and especially thrive in warm water environments. Warm water environments from heat transfer surfaces and water loss from drift makes cooling towers the perfect breeding ground and mode of transmittance to human exposure. To mitigate this risk, Hydrovida takes specific steps to identify and assess risk for legionella bacteria, and then implement a testing and monitoring plan, to manage the risk as best as possible.
