Fig. 2 Correlation of Legionella bacterial loads in lower respiratory tract (LRT) samples from legionellosis patients at the time of hospital admission with patients’ age (<60 or ≥60 years), the Fine class (pneumonia severity index), the need for hospitalization in an intensive care unit (ICU), and duration of hospitalization (1–14 days vs. >14 days). Open bars: qrt-PCR 16S quantification. Filled bars: qrt-PCR mip quantification. Statistical analysis using twotailed Student's t-test, at the 95% confidence limit.
