Yes, a dishwasher can kill E. coli bacteria if it operates at high temperatures. Most dishwashers reach water temperatures of at least 140°F (60°C), which is effective for sanitizing dishes. However, it's essential to use a high-temperature wash cycle, as lower temperatures may not eliminate all bacteria. Additionally, proper detergent use and thorough cleaning practices enhance the dishwasher's effectiveness against pathogens like E. coli.
