摘要：
The concentrations of Legionella pneumophila in cooling towers may vary considerably over short periods of time, producing significant fluctuations throughout the year. Despite genetic variability, in small geographical areas the same indistinguishable pulsed-field get electrophoresis patterns may be shared among different cooling towers and persist over time.
