Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Mycobacterium
avium are water-borne opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens
(OPPPs) that cause human disease of great economic cost. The
incidence and prevalence of OPPP-disease caused by these three
exemplary OPPPs is increasing at alarming rates. As the first
book-length review of OPPPs, this book describes the shared
characteristics of the emerging group of water-borne pathogens that
are normal inhabitants of drinking water systems and premise
plumbing. It discusses the selective conditions of drinking water
distribution systems and premise plumbing that have led to the
emergence of OPPPs. The text also reviews the results of the
studies that describe microbial adaptations leading to survival,
persistence, and growth in drinking water distribution systems and
premise plumbing.
