Endospores are medically important because they are resistant to all the methods of destroying bacteria like UV radiation, desiccation, disinfectants and freezing. Two endospore forming genus, Bacillus and Clostridium are reason for many diseases. <em> Bacillus anthracis </em>causes anthrax which is very fatal to humans. <em>Clostridium botulimum</em> causes botulism and <em>Clostridium tetani </em>causes tetanus.
