Abstract
Inhalation of contaminated aerosols is considered the most common route of Legionella transmission. The aim of this study was to determine whether contact with water contaminated by Legionella was related to oropharyngeal colonization in immunosuppressed patients. Eighty-five oropharyngeal swabs (April 1996 to June 1996) were seeded on selective and nonselective buffered charcoal-yeast extract media. Legionella was not isolated.Entities:
