Impact/Purpose:
Research efforts focus on evaluating the interplay between water quality parameters, microbial communities, and opportunistic pathogens in drinking water systems utilizing various engineering designs and water management practices. The use of molecular approaches (e.g. next generation sequencing) in this research effort will help to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the microbial ecology in drinking water systems.
Description:
Unused water in unoccupied buildings can become stagnant causing a reduction in temperature and levels of disinfectant resulting in increased microbial growth. We report the closed and complete genome and plasmid of Legionella pneumophila strain AW-13-4 (serogroup 1) isolated from a hot water loop system of a large building.
