Laboratory of Microbiology, Nova Medical School, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 1169-056 Lisboa, Portugal.
Background: species are the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease and, as ubiquitous waterborne bacteria, are prone to antimicrobial resistance gene (ARG) acquisition and dissemination due to the antimicrobial contamination of natural environments. Given the potential health risks associated with ARGs, it is crucial to assess their presence in the population.
Methods: The ARGs and were detected in 348 samples, isolates, and DNA extracts using conventional PCR.

Antimicrobial resistance is an emerging problem in hospitals and long-term healthcare facilities. Early detection of susceptibility pattern changes in pathogenic bacteria can prevent treatment failures. Therefore, this study chose to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility situation of isolates from hospitals and long-term healthcare facilities in Southern Germany.

is different from traditional drinking water contaminants because it presents a latent public health risk for public and private drinking water systems and for the building water systems they supply. This paper reviews information on the likelihood of occurrence of in public water systems to lay a foundation for public water systems, as a stakeholder in public health risk management, to better manage . Important to this approach is a literature review to identify conditions that could potentially promote being present in drinking water systems at either an elevated abundance or at an increased frequency of occurrence, and/or water quality and supply conditions that would contribute to its amplification.
