Es una bacteria que puede estar en lugares de contacto frecuente. En casos graves, da neumonía.

Está presente en la naturaleza, en los ambientes de agua dulce como lagos y arroyos.

Pero preocupa cuando se multiplica en los sistemas de agua como duchas, canillas, tuberías, tanques, bañeras, etc.

Por vía inhalatoria a través del agua o aire acondicionado. No de persona a persona.

El agua se dispersa en forma de gotitas pequeñas que se inhalan. Es menos común pero también aspirando agua potable infectada.

Tras la infección, la incubación es de pocas horas y hasta de dos días. Se presenta con síntomas como fiebre, tos, escalofríos o dolores musculares.
