CRCST Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Which of these organisms can adapt and survive extreme environmental conditions?

The sterility of the package is questionable

Clostridium difficile

Clostridium difficile is the correct answer because it is known to be a resilient bacterium that can form spores, allowing it to survive harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, high levels of disinfectants, and drying. This ability to adapt and survive in various environmental conditions makes Clostridium difficile a particularly concerning organism in healthcare settings where disinfection and sterilization practices are crucial in preventing infections.

The other options, such as the sterility of the package being questionable, facility management, and skin hooks, do not refer to organisms that have the capability to adapt and survive extreme environmental conditions like Clostridium difficile does.
