        They may also not survive as well.

        Ia there evidence they will thrive more at higher temperatures? Or are we just trying to find things to be negative about?

          Yes, actually. This specific bacteria thrives at 95f when cultured in labs.

          It’s a bacteria that is able to live inside humans, after all.

          Microbes also evolve faster than humans. Meaning they’ll adapt to higher temperatures faster than our body temperature will. Making humans more susceptible to bacteria like this one, as climate change continues.

      What is new is that the bacteria is becoming more predominate.
