Why do bacteria that form spores present a greater health risk than those that don't form spores?

Spore forming bacteria are resistant to heat, cold etc. They r not killed when subjected to high temp. So when they get suitable conditns they start growing nd effect the host or the place where they r present...

What is a dust spore?
A dust spore is essentially a bacteria that is released by dust mites and mildew that is always present in the air. These spores lead to the creation of mold and more spores which potentially make people sick.

Spores?
DefinitionA spore is a reproductive cell produced by certain fungi, plants (moss, ferns), and some bacteria. Often, the spore fully develops after a state of dormancy or hibernation.Certain bacteria produce spores as a defensive mechanism. Bacterial spores have thick walls and are very resistant to high temperatures, humidity, and other unfavorable conditions. The bacteria Clostridia form spores that cause gas gangrene and antibiotic-associated colitis.InformationChemical disinfection kills bacteria, but does not destroy their spores. Sterilization destroys spores as well as bacteria, and requires high temperatures and high pressures. In health-care settings, sterilization is usually accomplished using a device called an autoclave.
Where are spores?
Spores are produced by fungi, bacteria, and green plants. Spores in mushrooms are produced on special cells called basidia.

What special defenses do spores and capsules have?
Bacteria can form capsules and spores. A capsule is a protective layer around some bacteria. They can be virulent as they can resist the body's defence mechanism. Bacteria can change into bacterial spores when the environmental conditions are unfavourable. In this condition bacteria are inactive. When the environmental conditions become more suitable the bacteria can become active and cause disease. Bacterial spores are extremely resistant and can survive most forms of disinfection and inadequate sterilisation
What are the genera of bacteria which forms spores?
bacillus and clostridium
