spp. and other opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens (OPPPs), including , , , and , are normal inhabitants of natural waters, drinking water distribution systems and premise plumbing. Thus, humans are regularly exposed to these pathogens. Unfortunately, spp. and the other OPPPs share a number of features that allow them to grow and persist in premise plumbing. They form biofilms and are also relatively disinfectant-resistant, able to grow at low organic matter concentrations, and able to grow under stagnant conditions. Infections have been traced to exposure to premise plumbing or aerosols generated in showers. A number of measures can lead to reduction in OPPP numbers in premise plumbing, including elevation of water heater temperatures.
某些物种以及其他机会性建筑物管道病原体(OPPPs),包括[具体物种1]、[具体物种2]、[具体物种3]和[具体物种4],是天然水体、饮用水分配系统和建筑物管道中的正常栖息者。因此,人类经常接触这些病原体。不幸的是,[具体物种]和其他OPPPs具有许多特性,使它们能够在建筑物管道中生长并持续存在。它们形成生物膜,并且相对耐消毒剂,能够在低有机物浓度下生长,也能够在停滞条件下生长。感染已被追溯到接触建筑物管道或淋浴时产生的气溶胶。一些措施可以减少建筑物管道中OPPPs的数量,包括提高热水器温度。
