Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bacterial endospores have the highest resistance to physical and chemical controls due to their thick spore coat that protects them from harsh conditions. They can survive boiling, extreme temperatures, radiation, and chemical disinfectants. Naked viruses, protozoan cysts, and fungi spores have moderate resistance, while yeast is relatively easy to control.
