Detection of Legionella Species and the Influence of Precipitation on the Amount of Legionella DNA Present in Aerosols from Outdoor Sites Near Asphalt Roads in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, with Microbiome Analysis

Abstract: Background: Legionellosis can be caused by the inhalation of aerosolized water contaminated with Legionella. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of Legionella species in aerosols collected from outdoor sites near asphalt roads, bathrooms in public bath facilities, and other indoor sites such as buildings and private homes using culture methods, quantitative PCR with ethidium monoazide treatment (EMA-qPCR), and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Results: Legionella species were not detected in culture… Show more
