Examples of these include Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Burkholderia, Stenotrophomonas, nontuberculous mycobacteria, various species of fungi, and Naegleria fowleri. Many of the environmental factors that are conducive for Legionella growth also allow for growth of these other opportunistic pathogens. There is an added emphasis on sanitation when ice and water dispensing units are used on patient care units, so countertop, hands-free, nugget ice is easily chewable and helps reduce choking risks among patients.
