    Standard practice of killing bacteria is to heat in an Autoclave at temps of 250-degrees Fahrenheit. Autoclaves also work under tremendous pressure (15psi or greater). It is the combination of heat and pressure that kills the bacteria. Boiling water only reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrong answer.
