Sažetak
Implementation of preventive measures in different accommodation sites is the key to control of Travel associated Legionnaires' disease which occurs after exposure to contaminated water aerosols Therefore, it is important to monitor these facilities and educate their staff to implement preventive measures. In hotels with year-round operation, the water system is continuously rinsed thus reducing the concentration of Legionella bacteria in the system. In hotels with seasonal work, water is stagnating while the property is closed and, if preventive measures before the opening of the facility are not implemented, the risk of Legionnaires' disease is increasing. Sampling and analysis of water is often carried out in order to gain orientation on the potential risk of accommodation site under surveillance.
