This is a very large question: microbes are everywhere and have countless uses. Microbes are microscopic cells which have lots of different properties i.e: a nuclease; cell wall, etc.

Microbes are used in medicine: for example penicillin is a type of fungus.

Are body's contain countless types of microbes; and you are spreading them every time you touch; breathe, talk, sneeze etc. Microbes or bacteria thrive in warm (not hot!) conditions and is the courses things such as mold to grow.

Never think as microbes as being bad/ not good for you! We would not live with out them!
