Legionella Immunising Filter - Bader

Legionella Immunising Filter

Legionella is a disease caused by the bacterium legionella pneumophilia that survives at low temperatures and is spread through water or air. It grows most easily on taps, heads and instruments that combine both elements such as rotary instruments. This makes turbines and contra-angle handpieces a means of risk contagion.
