Legionella bacteria appears to be "common" in many compost brands sold in the UK, a study has found.
A team from Strathclyde University in Glasgow tested 22 different brands of compost and found that 14 contained a variety of Legionella species.

The study, "Legionella spp. in UK composts - a potential public health issue", is published by Clinical Microbiology and Infection.
