Factors influencing survival of Legionella pneumophila serotype 1 in hot spring water and tap water.
The factors involved in the survival of Legionella pneumophila in the microcosms of both hot spring water and tap water were studied by examining cultivability and metabolic activity. L. pneumophila could survive by maintaining metabolic activity but was noncultivable in all microcosms at 42 degrees C, except for one microcosm with a pH of <2.0. Lower temperatures supported survival without los...
متن کاملIsolation of Legionella Pneumophila Serogroups 1, 8 & 10 (Causative Agents of Legionnaires\' Disease) from Water Sources in Tehran, Iran
In this survey, 187 samples collected from 9 different sources of water in Tehran such as: water coolers, neonates incubators, water bathes (37° C), little pools in parks or squares, cooling towers, hot or cold water taps, were examined for Legionnaires' disease agents. Inoculating water samples on selective and nonselective media resulted in isolation of several strains of gram negative bact...
متن کاملGamma Radiation Measurement due to Natural Radioactivity in Hot Water Spring of Behbahan
Introduction: Many people use hot water springs to treat some diseases, such as rheumatism, arthritis, and skin diseases, but they are unaware of the presence of natural radioactive substances that may be found in hot water springs. An effective way to understand the radiation risk of these elements are measuring the dose rate of radiation. In this study, for the first time, ga...
متن کاملIsolation of Legionella pneumophila from Tehran Hospital Water Samples
Over a Period of three months (summer), 108 samples of water collected from four hospitals in Te-hran. They were taken from numerous potable and non-potable water, including main supply cis-terns, calorifiers, hot and cold tap water, shower, cooling tower and drain of air condition system. Culturing of concentrated and non-concentrated water samples on Buffered Charcoal Yeast Extract (BCYE) Aga...
متن کاملPulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern analysis and chlorine-resistance of Legionella pneumophila isolated from hot spring water samples.
For a microbial ecological analysis, 20 strains of Legionella pneumophila isolated from both unchlorinated Noyu (unattended natural hot spring) samples and chlorinated hot spring bath water samples collected throughout Japan were subjected to a clustering analysis on the basis of a Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern analysis. The PFGE patterns obtained from 19 strains of L. pneumop...
