Get certified with our Legionella Awareness course (Dutch)
Legionella pneumophila is a bacterium that causes the disease legionellosis. The disease can occur when people inhale the bacterium, for example, in a shower or through a spray system. The flu-like variant, also known as Pontiac fever, is usually temporary and self-limiting, whereas Legionnaires’ disease is a chronic lung condition with potentially fatal outcomes. For infection to occur, the bacterium must be inhaled through the nose or mouth and establish itself in the lungs.
The spread occurs through so-called aerosols, which are tiny water droplets that may contain the bacterium and are generated by turbulent water movements. Risk groups include individuals with weakened immune systems, the elderly, and heavy smokers.
