Abstract
Following isolation of Legionella pneumophila from a special dental station water circuit, used primarily to cool high-speed dental drills which produce fine aerosols, a case finding and environmental survey was undertaken. Widespread colonization of the dental stations was found and the results suggested that amplification of the background levels of L. pneumophila was taking place within the stations. However there was no evidence for transmission causing human infection.
摘要
从一个专门的牙科工作站水回路中分离出嗜肺军团菌后，该水回路主要用于冷却产生细微气溶胶的高速牙科钻机，随后开展了病例排查和环境调查。结果发现牙科工作站广泛存在嗜肺军团菌定殖现象，且结果表明该站内嗜肺军团菌的本底水平正在增加。然而，没有证据表明其传播导致了人类感染。
