Hi Chris!
This is Julius, Infection Control Nurse. Legionella Testing is carried out by Maintenance in our health service. This is usually done by an outsourced company.
Hope this helps!

Hi Chris
Not quite sure what you are asking, but we base detection of Legionella infection on culture of pathogenic Legionella from clinical specimens (eg sputum, bronchial washings, tissue).
Probably the best resource for this is the CDNA National Guidelines on Legionellosis.
If I am on the wrong track, could you please clarify your question?
Cheers

Hi Chris,
Do you mean testing for legionella in patients or testing water sources
(i.e., cooling towers/potable water systems)?Regards

Hi Chris,
Ideally, the place you are looking at should really have a Legionella Risk management plan, prepared as for the Enhealth Guidelines that came out in 2015 if it is a hospital or aged care facility and you are looking at finding it in the water supply. This should have how to sample and when to sample in there.
I can’t put a link in here, but the citation for the document is below.
“EnHealth Guidelines for Legionella Control in the operation and maintenance of drinking water distribution systems in health and aged care facilities (2015)”
If you are interested in the cooling tower, I note you are in Victoria, so the tower should by law have a Risk management plan in place. The Guide to developing cooling tower risk management plans is a useful read on the VIC dept health website.
For clinical diagnosis in a patient, this needs to be a medical decision and the pathology lab you are using can help with appropriate specimen collection methods for diagnosis. Legionnaires’ disease is a notifiable disease in most (all?) states.
If none of the risk management plans are in place and there are issues with legionella, then you may need to get some professional help involved to put one in place and develop a sampling plan, methodology and trouble shooting guide for the facility that gives you the best chance of finding the source of the issue and rectifying it.
