The data presented in this article are related to the research paper titled "Prevalence of Legionella in retirement homes and group homes water distribution systems" (De Filippis, 2018) [3]. Most of the cases of Legionella infection are sporadic and occur in community-dwellers. Hot water and biofilm samples from the showerheads of 26 retirement homes and 9 group homes hosting closed communities were collected, in order to evaluate the prevalence of Legionella and generic water quality parameters (Heterotrophic Plate Counts at 22 °C and 37 °C). Samples were tested by culture method for the presence of Legionella. Confirmation and identification were carried out through Latex test and PCR. Further data about buildings' number of floors and rooms were collected, and put in relation to the presence of Legionella through constructing contingency tables and performing exact fisher׳s or Chi-square tests. Cold (< 30 °C) water samples are analyzed apart.
本文所呈现的数据与题为《养老院和集体住宅供水系统中军团菌的流行情况》（De Filippis，2018年）[3]的研究论文相关。大多数军团菌感染病例为散发性，发生在社区居民中。采集了26家养老院和9家容纳封闭社区的集体住宅淋浴喷头的热水和生物膜样本，以评估军团菌的流行情况和一般水质参数（22°C和37°C下的异养平板计数）。通过培养法检测样本中是否存在军团菌。通过乳胶试验和聚合酶链反应进行确认和鉴定。收集了有关建筑物楼层数和房间数的进一步数据，并通过构建列联表和进行精确的费舍尔检验或卡方检验，将这些数据与军团菌的存在情况联系起来。对冷水（<30°C）样本进行单独分析。
