Detection of Legionella Anisa in Water from Hospital Dental Chair Units and Molecular Characterization by Whole-Genome Sequencing

This study aims to assess contamination with Legionella spp. in water from dental chair units (DCUs) of a hospital dental ward and to perform its molecular characterization by whole-genome sequencing (WGS). We collect eight water samples (250 mL) from four DCUs (sink and water-syringe). Samples are...
