This slide presentation outlines information on the occurrence of legionellae in groundwater. Study objectives include: determine prevalence of legionellae in source
waters and production wells [PW];
determine how widespread legionellae are in groundwater;
assess importance of temperature and other
water quality parameters in predicting occurrence
of legionellae; and,
investigate immunomagnetic separation [IMS] as
a tool to isolate legionellae. Topics covered include: testing and location of samples; PCU source characteristics; culture methodology; confirmation and identification; results of legionellae culture; legionella species identified in PCU
production wells during 1-year study; PCR methodology; results of PCR for legionellae; differences in means of selected
parameters that are positive versus
negative for legionellae; and, overall prevalence of legionellae in groundwater.
