They are found in all living things, plants and animal. There are more microorganisms on and inside your body than there are cells that make up your entire body! So the answer is YES.

When a microbe enters a body its still needs to feed, so it feeds on what is available, the animals cells and nutrients. And of course the microbe has to get rid of that food and sometimes its waste can be toxic. It is this toxic waste substance that cause the disease.

Where you can fing useful microbes?

Microbes are single celled living things too small to see. All higher life forms depend to some extent on microbes. Microbes are what turn milk into yogurt, and may be found there. They cause bread to rise. They may be found in bread dough. They are used to make sauerkraut, kimchee and certain other kinds of pickles, and can be found there. Microbes are at the base of the food chain. They are eaten by tiny animals that are, in turn, eaten by larger animals. Microbes are important in composting and putting nitrogen into the soil. There are many kinds of beneficial microbes in the soil. Cows and horses and many other kinds of plant eating animals have microbes in their stomachs and intestines. These microbes break down cellulose, which is what the cell walls of the plants the eat are made of. Without these microbes, the cows and horses would die. In fact, we could guess that all animals with intestines have microbes in them. We could go on. And on. and on.
