The ability of Mycobacterium xenopi to colonize an experimental drinking water distribution system (a Propella reactor) was investigated. M. xenopi was present in the biofilm within an hour following its introduction. After 9 weeks, it was always present in the outlet water (1 to 10 CFU 100 ml(-1)) and inside the biofilm (10(2) to 10(3) CFU cm(-2)). Biofilms may be considered reservoirs for the survival of M. xenopi.
