Calidad del agua y Salud: Las biopelículas y Legionella

En el trabajo se discute la calidad del agua potable y su relacion con la Salud Publica. Se presenta el concepto de formacion de biopelicula entendido desde la optica de la contaminacion biologica. En especial se atiende a Legionella sp., nichos ecologicos y enfermedad relacionada �legionelosis�. Tambien se desarrolla la evolucion de las biopeliculas, su influencia en la calidad del agua, tratamiento y control. Por ultimo, se expone la relacion entre ciertos microorganismos implicados en las biopeliculas acuaticas con el sustrato donde se desarrollan y el metodo de prevencion.
