Several Legionella species, especially L. pneumophila, cause legionellosis (Legionnaires' disease). The most common sources of Legionella and Legionnaires' disease outbreaks are cooling towers (used in industrial cooling water systems), domestic hot water systems,and spas. Additional sources include large central air conditioning systems, fountains, domestic cold water, swimming pools (especially in scandinavian countries and northern ireland) and similar disseminators that draw upon a public water supply.
