The objective of this research was to
characterize the growth response of Mycobacterium avium ssp. avium (MAA), under controlled conditions, exposed to various
substrates and typical drinking water constituents, and to describe environmental conditions that
may either support growth or induce inhibition of MAA if such conditions were present in a
DWDS.
The research team conducted a series of pure culture experiments to quantify growth response of
MAA (ATCC 35712) exposed to various substrates and inorganic constituents that may be
present in DWDSs. Characterization of growth response was based on comparative analysis of time to detection
(TTD), between simulated condition and control condition, using the automated liquid culture
mycobacteria growth indicator tube method (MGIT). Control condition consisted of a known
environment that supported growth of MAA. Simulated condition included individually
increasing and decreasing individual media component concentration of control condition by one
order of magnitude, or removing component all together. Includes abstract only.
