Yes, it counts, but it doesn't say anything about deactivating viruses with cooking temperatures. Only bacteria. The only mention of viruses is at the beginning when it says they can contaminate your food.
I'm looking for something that states specifically at what temperature a virus becomes deactivated...and is it universal or do different virii require different temperatures?

Go re-read it, salmonella is specifically referenced :)

Which is a bacteria. Kate's talking virii now.

But since you raised the issue of viruses:

Bacterial spores are the most heat resistant, e.g., spores of thermophilic bacteria can survive steam at 30p.s.i. at 134°C for 1-10 min and dry heat at 180°C for up to 15 min.


So a virus is somewhere under that threshold.
