Waterborne Pathogens
A New Tool Against Water Pathogens
Research-backed approaches for managing Legionella and other waterborne pathogens in building water systems — from field insights to rapid detection.
New research
A new tool for Legionella control
Building water systems remain one of the highest-risk reservoirs for Legionella pneumophila. HC3’s educational resources and MICA rapid culture platform help facility teams move from delayed lab results to actionable decisions.
The original interactive flipbook is linked below when available. Prefer a direct path? Start with MICA Advance for 48-hour culture-confirmed results, or read the related Emerging Pathogens episode.
Why it matters
Built for building water programs
High-risk reservoirs
Cooling towers, decorative fountains, and complex plumbing create niches where Legionella thrives.
Faster decisions
Rapid, culture-confirmed detection shortens the gap between sampling and corrective action.
Program confidence
Pair testing with water management plans, validation, and clear communication to stakeholders.
