Microbes is a more global term for small living creatures. Some have negative impact on our system when they intrude our body, called pathogens. They interfere with reactions in our body.

What are disease causing microbes called?
The disease causing microbes are called pathogens.
What are microbes called when they make you sick?
These organisms are known as pathogens.
What are viral or bacteria germs that invade body cells called?
Viruses, bacteria, and so on are called germs, infective agents, microbes, pathogens and so forth.
A synonym for bacteria?
Germs. Others: micro-organisms, viruses, bugs, microbes, pathogens, bacilli
How could growing microbes help a pathogen?
Pathogens are also microbial organisms. They just require a healthy host to transfer them to other healthy hosts thus spreading the disease. If one grows a colony of microbes it attracts the pathogens and helps them to infect them and carry the disease with them.
What are pathogens?
A pathogen is an infectious agent that causes illness to the host. These are commonly attributed to be bacteria and viruses.They can also be simple organisms, such as Naegleria fowleri [the uncommon brain eating ameoba]. Most pathogens are infectious microbes, such as bacteria or viruses, which are capable of causing disease. Other parasites, such as fungi and protozoans, are also considered pathogens. Because not all microbes are harmful, pathogens refer specifically to those that can cause disease or other harm.All of the above
How does Wax Secretion stop pathogens from entering the body?
the diesease microbes stick to it before it enters the body!
Does influenza cause microbes?
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.
Which disease caused by microbes is very common?
i am not that sure but the anwer isthere are three types of disease that i nofungi bacteria virous
What two reasons that the acid in your stomach is beneficial?
It aids in digestionIt protect us from some microbes that are pathogens. Some disease causing microbes are present in contaminated or food that are not properly treated. The acid pH of the stomach kills those microbes and protect us from disease.
Can microbes cause a disruption in homeostasis?
I am working on a science essay right now i think they can if microbes includes disease causing pathogens because a fever is a disruption of homestasis and the body purposly does this to help fight an infection
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.
