Bacteria can be killed by various methods, including heat, antibiotics, disinfectants, and certain chemicals. Heat can denature the proteins in bacteria, leading to their death. Antibiotics target specific pathways or structures in bacteria, preventing their growth and reproduction. Disinfectants and chemicals can disrupt the cell membrane or interfere with the metabolic processes of bacteria, leading to their elimination.
