No, it is the other way around, the microbes cause the influenza. The flu is caused by viruses. Viruses are examples of pathogens/microbes* just as bacteria are.
*Some microbiologists do not consider viruses "microbes" since they are not actually living organisms and since they are sub-microscopic particles.

What types of microbes are caused by flu?
Actually, the flu is the disease (influenza) and the microbes are what cause the disease, not the other way around. The pathogens ("microbes") responsible for the infectious disease called influenza are viruses.Viruses are submicroscopic-sized particles that can attach to the cells of a host person, animal, plant or bacteria (they are very small even compared to bacteria and other pathogens that are called microbes*) and replicate within the cells. This eventually destroys the cells and makes us sick until our bodies can use the immune system's processes to get rid of it.* Not all scientists classify viruses as microbes since they are submicroscopic and are non-living organisms.
What can microbes cause?
Microbial disease.
Why do microbes cause HIV?
Microbes don't cause HIV. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and the causative agent is a virus.
Do all microbes cause diseases?
Majority of the microbes do not cause the disease. The disease causing microbes also, probably, keeps your species healthy and your immune system tuned.
What final step should be taken to prove that these specific microbes cause the given disease?
Compare the original microbes with the microbes in the new culture.
What are disease causing microbes called?
The disease causing microbes are called pathogens.
What a the microbes that cause an intracellular infection?
aids
What types of microbes cause diphtheria?
bacteria
Who are the victims of Type A influenza?
Just about anyone who gets the flu. Most of the influenza viruses that cause disease in humans are Type A influenza viruses (but not all). Type A flu viruses are also what cause pandemics in humans.
