Place the following microorganisms from left to right in order of the most resistant to least resistant to destruction.

Solution

Endospores are considered the most resistant structure of microbes they are resistant to most agents that would normally kill the vegetative cells they formed from.

Protozoand cysts are quite hard to eliminate too. Gram Negative species have high levels of natural antibiotic resistance staphylococcus aureus is one of the major resistant human pathogens. viruses especially the envelope of viruses are relatively easy to treat successfully with Chemicals due to presence of lipids.

Order of resistance from low to high: gram positive bact- Gram Negative bacteria -enveloped viruses-endospores.
