| Summary : | Considering the ever increasing use of immuno-compromised or weakened rodent strains in research, more attention is paid to opportunistic bacteria and to the control of environmental microbism. The most prevalent opportunistic bacteria found in laboratory rodent colonies were selected for this study in order to assess their survival in water, as potential route of contamination. Pasteurella pneumotropica and Staphylococcus aureus were found to be poorly resistant. For Pseudomonas aeruginosa we could confirm that its ability to survive in water was extended to a period over 40 months in different water qualities. |
