Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Most bacteria that cause disease grow fastest in the temperature range between 41 and 135 degrees F, which is known as THE DANGER ZONE.
Detailed explanation-2: -Let the abbreviation OGT means the middle of the optimal growth temperature range. The considered OGTs range from 2 to 52.5°C in plastid species, from 22.5 to 114°C in archaea, and from 7 to 85°C in bacteria (ref. to the Supplementary Spreadsheet) ().
Detailed explanation-3: -When conditions become favorable, the spores change into the active form and begin to grow and reproduce. Pathogenic bacteria cause bacterial infections. The presence of pus is a sign of a bacterial infection. Staphylococci are amoung the most common human bacteria.
