Ways to reduce Legionella risk
Flinders University researchers have identified opportunities to strengthen Legionella risk management across Australia by introducing uniform best practice across all states and territories. Published in BMC […]
Simple maintenance can reduce hospital Legionella risks
Hospital water systems are a significant source of Legionella, resulting in the potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease – but Flinders University researchers have proven simple maintenance that […]
Water tests may fail to detect Legionella
Like false-negative results for virus testing, Flinders University experts have found that standard testing for Legionnaires’ disease is not always fail safe. To counter the […]
Breakthrough in fighting Legionnaires’
A new study of domestic and hospital drinking water systems found Legionella in 41% of samples – with Flinders University researchers making a key connection between […]
Fresh input to theory on Legionnaires’ disease
Contrary to some scientific beliefs, Flinders University PhD candidate Michael Taylor has literally grown his own evidence to suggest the bacterium which causes the potentially-fatal Legionnaires’ disease is more than just a parasite.
