Just thought I'd look into this...and share the results...

"P. aeruginosa grows well at 37°C, and can also survive at a wide range of temperatures from 4°C to 42°C"...

"Reduction in the growth and metabolic activity of K. pneumoniae at temperatures >35 °C has been reportedFootnote 9. Significant growth reduction has been demonstrated at 60 °C; however, the bacteria still show some metabolic activity (i.e. not completely inactivated). Bacteria are also sensitive to moist heat and dry heatFootnote 10"...

"Whereas meningococci and gonococci require additional carbon dioxide for optimal growth and grow only at temperatures of 30°C to 37°C, the other species are less fastidious; they do not require extra carbon dioxide and can grow at 22°C to 25°C"...

"On the other hand, temperature manipulation may be therapeutically useful in some cases with Nannizziopsis spp. (e.g., N. barbata and N. crocodili) because of the relatively low optimal growth temperature (\ 35°C) [4,6]. However, a previous study has indicated that the growth temperature for N. arthrosporioides is from 15°C to higher than 40°C on culture medium [6], and hence, temperature manipulation is not applied in this case"...
