Legionella is a nasty bacteria, specifically a gram negative bacterium. It is responsible for the infamous Legionaire's disease, which was an outbreak mystery disease in the 1970s. Legionella exist naturally in water and moist soil. They have been found in creeks and ponds, hot and cold water taps, hot water tanks, water in air conditioning cooling towers and evaporative condensers, and soil at excavation sites.

Legionnaires disease is an acute respiratory infection caused by Legionella bacteria. The bacteria that cause Legionnaire's disease have been found in water delivery systems. They can survive in the warm, moist, air conditioning systems of large buildings, including hospitals. Most cases are caused by Legionella pneumophila. The rest of cases are caused by other Legionella species.
