ABSTRACT
Legionellae was found in 57 per cent of 94 cooling towers and 21.8 per cent of 78 other environmental sources. These figures reveal that the existence of legionellae in cooling towers is more prevalent than that found in other environmental sources. Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 was the most prevalent organism among the legionellae found in cooling towers and other environmental sources. The recovery of legionellae in each province was seasonally independent and was found throughout the year. This is the first report of an environmental survey representing the existence of legionellae in every region of Thailand.
