摘要：
This paper discusses the drinking water quality and its relation to Public Health. It introduces the concept of biofilm formation understood from the perspective of biological contamination. In particular, attends to Legionella spp., ecological niches and related legionnaires' disease. It also develops the evolution of biofilms, their influence on water quality, treatment and control. Finally, shows the relationship between certain microorganisms included in aquatic biofilms, the substrate where they develop and method of prevention.
