Seasonal Host Shifts for Legionella Within an Industrial Water-Cooling System. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepTaxonomic profiling for Legionella (the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease) and protist hosts within a water cooling tower showed seasonal peaks for Legionella that were associated with taxonomic shifts in the protist community. Legionella frequency was tracked using amplicon sequencing (blue line) and serogroup profiling (red line).
