dc.description.abstract | <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> is capable of an adaptive, reversible response to high-temperature survival depending on its growth temperature. Trehalose concentrations of <i>M. avium</i> cells grown at 42 °C were significantly higher compared to those of cells grown at 25 °C. Further, the survival of cells of <i>M. avium</i> grown at 42 °C and exposed to 65 °C were significantly higher than the survival of cells grown at 25 °C. This adaptive response to growth temperature may play a role in the persistence of <i>M. avium</i> in premise plumbing. | en |
