The Legionella colonization frequency at 385 Greek hotel hot and cold water distribution systems was 20.8%. Legionella contamination was associated with the presence of an oil heater (odds ratio [OR]=2.04, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.12 to 3.70), with the sample temperature (OR=0.26, 95% CI=0.1 to 0.5), with seasonal operation (OR=3.23, 95% CI=1.52 to 6.87), and with the presence of an independent disinfection system (OR=0.30, 95% CI=0.15 to 0.62). The same water temperatures, free-chlorine levels, and pHs differently affect the survival of various Legionella spp.
在希腊385个酒店冷热水分配系统中军团菌的定植频率为20.8%。军团菌污染与油加热器的存在有关(比值比[OR]=2.04,95%置信区间[CI]=1.12至3.70),与样本温度有关(OR=0.26,95%CI=0.1至0.5),与季节性运行有关(OR=3.23,95%CI=1.52至6.87),以及与独立消毒系统的存在有关(OR=0.30,95%CI=0.15至0.62)。相同的水温、游离氯水平和pH值对不同军团菌属的存活有不同影响。
