Human Pathogens Are

Question

Human pathogens are
A) halophilic.
B) psychrophilic.
C) mesophilic.
D) thermophilic.
E) extreme thermophilic.

Accepted Answer

Human pathogens are typically mesophilic, meaning they grow best at moderate temperatures between 20-45°C. This is the temperature range of the human body, making it an ideal environment for microorganisms that cause disease. Most pathogens cannot survive extreme temperatures, such as those found in thermophilic and extreme thermophilic environments, and are not adapted to survive in halophilic or psychrophilic environments.
