No. Many bacteria are killed after 15 minutes at 143 degrees F. The ones that aren't are almost all killed by heat around the boiling point. Most cooking is that hot, or hotter. There a a few strains of bacteria that actually thrive on temperatures at the boiling point and above. They are mostly at the bottom of the deepest part of ocean.
