Drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline shut down a plant that produces inhaled medications after discovering the bacteria that causes Legionnaire's disease, a potentially fatal form of pneumonia.

The company said in a statement that the cooling tower "does not come into contact with product manufactured at the facility."
