Why is it hard to destroy endospores?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Are protected,,,: These are hard to destroy because they are likely in a dormant, protected state. Many fungi like blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and cryptosporidia have two phases, a spore phase and a cyst/yeast phase where they are better protected by a cyst wall. They can be dormant and harder to kill like this. This is true for many other fungi and other microorganisms also.
