Water out of the tap, what’s the issue...?  Water is the giver of life.  Water is also the home of ‘waterborne pathogens’ such as legionella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.   These are naturally occurring bacteria that thrive in water systems.  

 

This short presentation provides detail on the background of legionella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including those who are most susceptible, favourable conditions, and control strategies.
