Background: Infection by Legionella bacteria is a risk to elderly individuals in health care facilities and should be managed by preventing bacterial proliferation in internal water systems. Norwegian legislation calls for a mandatory Legionella-specific risk assessment with the subsequent introduction of an adapted water management programme. The present study investigates adherence to legislation and guidelines on Legionella control and prevention in Norwegian nursing homes.

Legionella pneumophila is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that uses a type IV secretion system (T4SS), termed Dot/Icm, to secrete more than 330 virulence effector proteins into the infected host cell. Many Dot/Icm effectors are involved in biogenesis of the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV), which allows intracellular bacterial replication in environmental amoebae and alveolar macrophages. Through their activity, some effectors trigger the mammalian host immune response in a phenomenon termed effector-triggered immunity (ETI).

Introduction: In case of a contamination of water-supplying systems in hospitals with legionella, usually chemical disinfection measures are used for remediation. Unfortunately, it is reported, that these methods may not be sustainable, have an impact on water quality, and can even fail. As an alternative, the superheat and flush method does not need any special equipment, can be initiated in a short lead of time and does not affect the water quality.
