Introduction: The incidence of Legionnaires' disease (LD) steadily increases worldwide. Although Legionella pneumophila is known as pathogenic, systematic investigations into antibiotic resistance are scarce, and reports of resistance in isolates are recently emerging.
Methods: Clinical cases and metadata reported to the Belgian National Reference Centre between 2011 and 2022 were retrospectively analysed.

Background: Legionella infections are a major global health issue, yet there's limited research on their impact and trends. We aimed to systematically analyzed the long-term trends in Legionella spp. infection-associated diseases (LSIADs) burden from 1990 to 2021.

The identification and typing of bacteria are very expensive and time-consuming due to their growth times, and the expertise needed. MALDI-TOF MS represents a fast technique, reproducible with molecular approaches. This technique is still poorly applied in Legionella surveillance with estimation occurring only at the genus level.

Background: Multiple studies have shown a positive relationship between weather events and, 1 to 2 weeks later, Legionnaires' disease (LD) cases. Narrowing this time window of association can help determine whether the mechanism linking rainfall and relative humidity to sporadic LD is direct or indirect. Due to the large number of daily water interactions and low incidence of LD, we propose a new Bayesian modeling approach to disentangle the potential for a direct vs.

Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila) is a pathogenic bacterium primarily known for causing Legionnaires' Disease which is known for high mortality rates, particularly in the elderly. With caseloads continuing to increase, further research is needed to improve our understanding of optimized sampling schema and safe limits of L.
