- W1808540183 abstract "OBJECTIVE: To investigate the epidemiologic relatedness of nosocomial infections due to Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 diagnosed between 1992 and 1994 in six immunocompromised patients of the same hospital and to describe the measures which were developed to control the outbreak. METHODS: Legionella strains isolated from patients and from potable hot water were compared using three typing methods: monoclonal antibody analysis, arbitrarily primed PCR and ribotyping. RESULTS: Environmental investigations revealed the presence of high levels of L. pneumophila serogroup 1 in hot water. The typing methods gave concordant results for demonstrating (1) the persistence of an epidemic strain of L. pneumophila serogroup 1 in the major water distribution circuit of the hospital over a 3-year period, and (2) the identity between patients' and environmental strains. Five of the six patients were probably infected via aerosols of hot tap water following inappropriate therapeutic procedures. Repetitive heat flushings associated with regular bacteriologic surveillance allowed correct disinfection of the water distribution systems. Specific recommendations concerning aerosol delivery and oxygen therapy were implemented in order to prevent further nosocomial legionellosis. CONCLUSIONS: The same strain of L. pneumophila had been able to colonize the main water circuit of the hospital for at least 3 years; the relatedness between clinical and environmental strains was easily confirmed by the use of molecular markers." @default.
