What are bacteria and viruses common types of?
Microorganisms. Some can be pathogens.
Are all bacteria viruses and or fungi infectious?
Yes. Bacteria, viruses, and fungi all have the potential to become pathogens to different organisms. Although it doesn't mean that they are all necessarily infectious to human beings now, they have the potential due to genetic mutations and adaptations. Bacteria are especially known to mutate quickly using horizontal gene transfers (cell to cell) and pick up different pathogenicity islands that enable them to become potent pathogens. If you look at many of the bacterial/viral diseases the human population faces, many are from organisms common to different animal hosts that have mutated to become human pathogens. Even the bacteria living on our skin as commensals have the ability to become pathogens once they enter our blood stream.
Which disease caused by microbes is very common?

What are coliform bacteria?
A coliform count is a microbiological assay of the number of coliform-type bacteria living in a certain sample. This is often used as a measure of fecal contamination of water supplies.
What is the Common route of central nervous system invasion by pathogens is through?

What are bacteria and viruses common types of?
Microorganisms. Some can be pathogens.
Can eggs sausage or bacon cause food poisoning?
No. Food poisoning can result only from contamination of foods by a pathogen. Eggs, sausage, and bacon can be common vectors for these pathogens if not treated or stored correctly.Common bacteria responsible for food contamination are:SalmonellaEscherichia coli - "E. coli"Clostridium BotulinumClostridium perfringensCampylobacter JejuniShigella and ShigellosisListeria MonocytogenesStaphylococcus Aureus
Do animals become ill?
Yes, animals can and do become ill from a variety of pathogens. Common pathogens of animals include bacteria, viruses and parasites; less common pathogens include fungi and prions. Animals are also susceptible to congenital malformations, degenerative and auto-immune diseases, cancer and trauma.
What is the most common source of cross-contamination?
stuff like unclean utensils and the bacteria getting onto your food and you eating it
What are the common name of bacilli?
Prokaryotes: Bacteria Bacilli refers to a taxonomic class of bacteria. It includes two orders, Bacillales and Lactobacillales, which contain several well-known pathogens like Bacillus anthracis (the cause of anthrax).
What pathogens cause food poisoning?
Bacteria and viruses are the most common causes of food poisoning. Parasites, mold, toxins, contaminants and allergens are also causes of food poisoning.
What does vaccine and pathogenic have in common?
Vaccines are for preventing infections. Infections are pathogenic (caused by germs). Vaccines help your body prepare to fight specific pathogens, e.g., bacteria and viruses.
Are all bacteria viruses and or fungi infectious?

What is the most common cause of blood contamination?
Improper skin preparation is the most common cause of contamination when drawing blood cultures.
What is CPR AED adult bloodborne pathogens?
A bloodborne pathogen is a disease causing agent in the blood such as a virus (HIV, HBV, or Herpes) or bacteria (TB, Gonorrhea). Corrected: Bloodborne Pathogens means, disease causing organisms transmitted by blood and other body fluids. Most common bloodborne pathogens are Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C & HIV.
What are the most common pathogen's?
There many common pathogens. They all are disease causing. Path- means disease + -ogen meaning causing. The list is very long but here you will find many http://www.dnafrequencies.com/dp/human.shtml
What are two three types of medicines that fight pathogens?
There are multiple "drugs" (not medicine) that kill pathogens. They are known as antibiotics. The most common is from the Menicillin family. Normally the most prescribed is penicillin that was discovered by accident during microbiology experiments. Antibiotics kill bacteria in the body helping it to fight infections. They kill all bacteria and can kill healthy bacteria that the body needs. They cannot kill viruses which are another form of pathogen.
