Abstract
Within the context of the Italian Multicentric Study of Legionellosis, we carried out a 4-year active prospective LD surveillance program in a large university hospital in Rome. We also assessed the usefulness of the hospital water monitoring program to predict the risk of nosocomial LD. In addition, the genetic correlation among the environmental L. pneumophila isolates collected was assessed by means of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for epidemiological investigations.
