What, if anything, kills 100% of bacteria and viruses?

Best Answers

Yes, but not with a chemical. You can’t ever get rid of 100% of bacteria with any certainty because some gain resistance, and some are just hardier strains. You CAN kill 100% of all living things, bacteria and viruses included, with an autoclave or incineration, both of which use high temperatures. read more

Spores of bacteria have great resistance for it and thus spore will remain there. It can only kill vegetative cells. Viruses are also resistant to it. Nowadays antibiotic like triclosan is also added with it. read more
