Does Bacterial growth affect temperature?

Yes. Bacterial growth increases with temperature or humidity. Lower temperatures will inhibit or completely stop bacterial growth, but not kill bacteria. The best temperature for fastest growth of some bacterial strains (such as E. coli) is the human body temperature at 37°C. However, most species cannot survive in extreme temperatures. One way to kill common bacterial pathogens using heat is by boiling, a common sterilization technique.


At what temperature does pathogens multiply rapidly?

Generally 37 degrees - body temperature. However some, such as fungi, prefer lower temperatures as they are found on the outside of the body. Similar some bacteria like campylobacter prefer 42 degrees Celsius

The question doesn't make sense, but the body raises its' temperature ( fever) to help kill off any foreign pathogens that are attacking the body.


How Does Having a Fever Speed up the Healing Process?

As fever is abnormally high body temperature, pathogens with strict temperature preferences may be hindered. Fever also speeds up immunological reactions as it enhances leukocyte phagocytosis, decreases the effects of the pathogens' endotoxins, and increases the proliferation of T cells. In addition, fever causes the liver and spleen to take up iron and zinc that are needed by the pathogens and it increases metabolic rate to speed up tissue repair.
