In general, microorganisms that can make you sick are termed "germs" by the non-medical world. Bacteria that can cause disease or sickness are termed "pathogens." There are way too many to list here and certain strains of microorganisms can be harmful while other strains of that same organism may not be.

What micro organisms make us ill?

Any microorganism can make us ill once it colonizes. For example, on your skin right now are varieties of bacteria along with yeast. This normal flora does not make us ill (usually). But if something gets out of balance, the bacteria or yeast can begin to multiply. Our bodies initially try to wall off the infection if it is inside our bodies; on the skin, it is harder. If our defenses are low or we cannot fight it off, an infection is well underway.

HowMicrobiology related to nursing and medicine?

Microbiology is the study of bacteria, virus, fungus, etc. All of these microorganisms can make us ill, sometimes deathly ill. It is important in medicine because scientists must formulate medicine to destroy or inhibit the microorganisms based on their structure. In nursing, they must give patients medicine to fight infections such as these, and monitor them if they are in the hospital. They must also try to control the spread of the microorganism, so they must know what type of microorganism they are infectecd with. Microbiology is the whole basis of health care.
