چکیده    Legionella contamination was studied in 34 nursing homes hot-water systems. a critical points analysis was conducted in each home in order to evaluate risk factors for occurrence of legionella bacteria across four components of the water systems: cold water system feeding the hot-water production,hot-water production,hot-water distribution system and points-of-use. risk factors were scaled according to criticity levels (1 to 4) and related to the prevalence and intensity of legionella contamination. hot-water of the nursing homes was contaminated by culturable legionella (24.6%) and by legionella detected using the in situ hybridization (fish) technique (48.5%). logistic regressions showed that criticity levels of hot-water system were predictive of hot-water contamination by culturable legionella for two major components: hot-water production and hot-water distribution system
کلیدواژه and to a lesser extent for the points-of-use component. These results also hold true for the points-of-use criticity levels according to Legionella bacteria detected by FISH. In conclusion
