Question

which of the following microbial forms have the highest resistance to physical and chemical controls?
multiple choice
yeast
bacterial endospores
naked viruses
fungal spores

Explanation:

Bacterial endospores are highly resistant structures. They have a thick spore coat and low water content, which protect them from physical (e.g., high temperatures) and chemical (e.g., disinfectants) agents. Yeast, naked viruses, fungal spores, and protozoan cysts are less resistant compared to bacterial endospores.

Answer:

Bacterial endospores
