[Thermoresistance of Legionella].
Cells of Legionella suspended in water were heated for 15 to 60 min, at temperatures between 40 and 70 degrees C, and their survival determined over 9 log-cycles. The survival curves were identical for the 6 strains, and were non-logarithmic. Implications of the resistance plateau observed are discussed.
