Answer

Bacterial spores are the most resistant to antiseptics and sterilization. They have a tough outer coat that protects them from harsh chemicals and environmental conditions, including many sterilization methods. While prions are also very resistant, bacterial spores are generally considered *more* resistant to standard sterilization techniques.
