Résumé
Understanding how Legionella spp. proliferate in multispecies biofilms is essential to develop strategies to control their presence in building plumbing. Here, we analyzed biofilm formation and Legionella spp. colonization on new plumbing material during 8 weeks. Biofilm formation was characterized by an initial increase in intact cell concentrations up to 9.5 × 10
