dc.description.abstractThermal bathing pools in spa centers have been increasing in Portugal. Considering that thermal water is not disinfected or treated, microorganisms such as Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Legionella sp. may grow in the indoor environment of these facilities and influence the health of users and staff. S. aureus, particularly methicillin-resistant strains and P. aeruginosa are well-known worldwide as a cause of numerous hospitalizations and deaths associated with extremely high mortality rates for invasive infections, while, several L. pneumophila outbreaks have been recorded potentially associated with severe pneumonia and Pontiac fever which is a severe public health issue. These microorganisms can spread through water vapor, making health care centers, such as SPA facilities, extremely susceptible to contamination. This study aims to assess the presence of potentially pathogenic microorganism’s namely, S. aureus methicillin sensible (MSSA) and resistant (MRSA), P. aeruginosa and Legionella in two thermal SPAs in Portugal.pt_PT
