From synchronized sporulation and spore mutant studies, the order of development of resistance to biocides during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis strain 168 was toluene, formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulphate, phenol, phenylmercuric nitrate, m ‐cresol, chlorocresol, chlorhexidine gluconate, cetylpyridinium chloride, moist heat, sodium dichlorisocyanurate, sodium hypochlorite, lysozyme and glutaraldehyde. These resistances could be assigned to different stages in spore development.
