Its a multi-variable problem. Time, temperature, initial concentration of germs, tolerable final concentration, and if spores must also be killed(requires more extreme conditions), must all be factored. 49 to 60 C ( 120 to 140 °F) is considered cool enough to promote bacteria growth in a dish washer. Water can be pasteurized by heating to 65˚C/149˚F. Pasteurized is not as effective as total sterilization.

Bacteria that are harmful to humans are killed by temperatures of 140 °F (60 °C).

Other bacteria can survive, even thrive at much higher temperatures.

According to the accepted standard for making water potable, it must be boiled, which I believe is 212 degrees at sea level and it must be boiled for 10 minutes.

250-degrees Fahrenheit is the standard practice, but it's not only temperature that kills all bacteria. Pressure also has a role in the destruction of bacteria as well. An autoclave will produce over 15psi which helps kill bacteria in conjunction with heat.

Germs can live in a wide range of temperatures. However, in order for something to be considered sanitized, it must be cleaned in water at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
