“…In this report, Legionella was responsible for all nine outbreaks linked to institutional settings and was responsible for all 17 reported deaths and 94% of all reported hospitalizations. This corresponds with surveillance data from drinking water-associated outbreaks (8) and underscores the importance of water management programs for maintaining water quality, preventing illness, and saving lives.…”

“…Notwithstanding this gap in knowledge, irrigation water has long been regarded as an important vehicle for pathogens associated with foodborne illnesses (Uyttendaele et al, 2015). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, outbreaks that occurred during 2013 to 2014 from drinking water systems solely supplied by surface water accounted for nearly 80% of reported cases (Allende and Monaghan, 2015; Benedict et al, 2017; Uyttendaele et al, 2015). However, there is a paucity of research capable of linking microbial contamination in irrigation water to foodborne outbreaks in the United States (Pachepsky et al, 2016; Partyka et al, 2018).…”
