Legionella
Drawn from ASM′s 1992 symposium on the subject, this book completely updates information on all aspects of Legionella and Legionnaires disease.

As the sole source of current knowledge and theory on Legionella, it is an extremely useful reference for clinical microbiologists, environmental microbiologists, epidemiologists, infectious disease and other clinical specialists, and environmental engineers.
