Since the 1976 outbreak of Legionnaries’ Disease in Philadelphia, data continues to demonstrate how dangerous Legionella Pneumophila bacteria are to the general public. In 2010, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported 3,346 deaths and up to 18,000 hospitalizations were related to Legionella. The CDC also states that there are many infections that are not reported and this number could be significantly higher.
