Does heating yogurt kill the good bacteria?

It can--if you heat it enough. But for yogurt, it really depends on the type of yogurt - mesophiic or thermophiic. With thermophlic bacteria, the dairy liquid is heated to as high as 125 degrees F to allow the bacteria to multiply. Mesophilic bacteria multiply well at room temperature - around 72 degrees F, so the higher thermophilic temperatures would tend to kill them off. Most of the commercially available yogurts found in the USA are thermophilic where mesphilic yogurts are available overseas. Examples of mesohhilic yogurts - Villi, Piima, and Matsoi.

Is it a good idea to use antibacterial soap?

No. Antibacterial soap is not any more effective at ridding your hands and other surfaces of bacteria as "normal" soap. It will, however, help to create "super bacteria" that are resistant to antibiotics.Added: Also, by using antibacterial soap you kill the good bacteria on your skin that help to keep you from infection. Without these bacteria you are liable to get a fungal infection like ringworm. It is good to have a moderate level of bacteria in your environment. They give your immune system something to practice on so it will be ready when something harmful checks in.


How does resistance develop in bacteria?

Bacteria, like all organisms, have phenotypic variations. Some bacteria are resistant to antibacterial drugs and survive the onslaught of these drugs. They then go on to have progeny ( by fission ) that they confer this resistance on so that you have a new population of resistant bacteria.
