Mesophiles

Members of a class of bacteria in a classification system based on the temperature range at which an organism can grow. Mesophiles have an optimum growth temperature, the temperature at which they multiply most rapidly, in the region of 30-40ºC. Food poisoning organisms are adapted to grow in the body of warm-blooded animals and are mesophiles, though some can grow at chill temperatures.
