Are bacteria present in fire

Answer 1

Most bacteria cannot survive temperatures that high. That is why a flame is used to sterilize the needles and wire loops used to pick up samples in microbiology experiments so the growth media the sample is spread onto won't be contaminated by microorganisms that were not part of the sample. Flames are also sometimes used to sterilize needles used to remove splinters or thorns to prevent introducing bacteria under the skin making an infection.

Answer 2

No, bacteria cannot survive in the extreme heat produced by fire. The high temperatures of a fire would typically kill any bacteria present.
