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.
The microbe that causes the swine flu (A-H1N1/09 Pandemic Swine Flu) is a virus. There are many other kinds of microbes that can cause diseases and infections, like bacteria, fungus, microscopic parasites, etc. For more information about the different types of microbes, see the related questions below.
This where bacteria grows where it shouldn't. The inside of your body is sterile. If you need an operation, there are always chances that bacteria will end up inside. That would be a contaminant.

they kill them!
Fermentation process microbes.
Alexander flaming discovered microbes
Microbes live best in grass because of cellulose in the grass. But microbes can live anywhere.
All bacteria are microbes, but not all microbes are bacteria. Viruses and fungi are the other two main types of microbes, or microorganisms.
Virus do not have cells.Other microbes have cells.
