title: [Methodic bases for providing the population and potentially dangerous water objects with biosafety against the pathogens of Legionellosis].
abstract: The paper considers the key aspects of the ecology of Legionella determining the increasing role of the pathogen in the emergence of human infectious diseases in postinduatrial society. Formation of Legionella biofilms on potentially dangerous water objects with possible further aerosol or aspiration transmission of the pathogen may lead to large epidemic outbreaks and sporadic cases of the infection. Based on international experience and the results of their studies, the authors propose a current legionellosis prevention concept based on microbiological monitoring and control of potentially dangerous water objects.
