How Molecular Typing Can Support <i>Legionella</i> Environmental Surveillance in Hot Water Distribution Systems: A Hospital Experience

In this study, we aimed to associate the molecular typing of <i>Legionella</i> isolates with a culture technique during routine <i>Legionella</i> hospital environmental surveillance in hot water distribution systems (HWDSs) to develop a risk map able to be used to prevent nos...
