Legionnaires' Disease: Legionellaceae, particularly Legionella pneumophila, is associated with Legionnaires' disease, a severe form of pneumonia. This disease can be life-threatening, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Transmission: Legionellaceae bacteria are transmitted to humans through the inhalation of aerosolized water droplets containing the bacteria. Common sources of Legionella exposure include cooling towers, hot tubs, showers, fountains, and other water systems.
Symptoms: Legionnaires' disease symptoms can include high fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, and headaches. Pontiac fever, another illness caused by Legionellaceae, is a milder, flu-like illness with symptoms such as fever and muscle aches.
Reservoirs: Legionellaceae is often found in natural water sources, but it can proliferate in human-made water systems with warm temperatures, such as those used for air conditioning and industrial cooling.
Amoebic Hosts: Legionella species are known to replicate within amoebae, which can serve as hosts. This intracellular lifestyle within amoebae may contribute to the persistence of Legionellaceae in aquatic environments.
Prevention: Preventive measures include regular maintenance and cleaning of water systems, proper design and maintenance of cooling towers, and the use of disinfection methods to control Legionella growth.
Antibiotic Treatment: Legionnaires' disease is treated with antibiotics, usually macrolides or quinolones. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for a positive outcome.
Public Health Concern: Outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease have been associated with contaminated water systems in buildings, hotels, hospitals, and other facilities. Monitoring and management of water quality are essential for preventing outbreaks.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
