Spore-forming bacteria exhibit different transmission dynamics compared to non-spore-forming bacteria. Due to their resistance to environmental stresses and aerotolerance, spore-forming bacteria are less restricted in space and time during transmission.
Spore-forming bacteria can remain viable for long periods in external aerobic environments, allowing them to transmit without requiring close contact between individuals. Spores shed by one individual can be acquired by another individual weeks later
Spore-forming bacteria are a specialized group of microorganisms capable of producing spores, which are highly resistant structures that allow them to survive extreme environmental conditions. These bacteria primarily belong to the phylum Firmicutes, which includes notable genera such as Bacillus and Clostridium
