Bacteria can die at different temperatures depending on the species and conditions. Generally, most bacteria start to die off at temperatures above 140°F (60°C). However, some bacteria can survive higher temperatures, especially those that are heat-resistant or form spores. To ensure that bacteria are killed, temperatures of 165°F (74°C) or higher are typically recommended for cooking food thoroughly. Additionally, freezing temperatures can slow down bacterial growth but may not necessarily kill all types of bacteria.
