How are microbes useful in household life?

Microbes are very important part of ecology the main or general function of microbes to human or enviornmental wellfare is to work as decomposers. Microbes like bacteria and fungi are also used in industrial production of enzymes and proteins or some antibiotics. Some fungi like yeast is also used in making wine and other in dairy products.The another useful function of microbe is to study the action and mechaninsms of genetic disease as E.coli is many time taken as model to study genetic diseases


What is the term that means free from microbes in the human body?

This term is antisepsis. Most of the human body, internally is free of microbes. But not all. The mouth and esophagus have normal microbes as does the upper respiratory tract including the nose. The lower portion of the digestive tract, very low in the urinary tract and the genital tracts there are normal microbes.

Would you tell me the microbes and its related diseases and the most common drugs used to treat these diseases?

rheumatic heart disease is an example of disease caused by Group A Beta Hemolytic Streptococcus (GABS). It starts with recurrent tonsillitis or upper respiratory infection then evolved to RHD. It is common among children. Early infection is treated by penicillin but once it evolved to RHD... a very serious disease condition.


How are microbes responsible for a particular disease?

There are thousands of different types of microbes. They are all microscopic but at the same time they are very much different from each other. So each can cause individual or no disease. In fact very few of them cause diseases.


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.


What is the common reason why proper disposal of excreta is very necessary?

To prevent spread of disease caused by decomposition of the faeces by bacteria

How do get rabies?

Rabies is an infectious disease caused by a Rhabdoviridaevirus. The most common way that the virus is transmitted is from a bite of an infected animal, there have been a few very rare cases of rabies in which people have contracted the disease by inhaling the virus in bat caves, but again this is very rare.


Is raw meat a microbe?

No, meat is parts of dead animal flesh. Microbes are living single celled organisms. What you may be thinking of is contamination with microbes. Yes, in that case raw meat is often (but not always) contaminated with microbes (often disease causing microbes that can make you very sick or even kill you). This is why meat should always be cooked before being served: to kill these microbes (even harmless ones).


What are microbes and what do they do?

This is a very large question: microbes are everywhere and have countless uses. Microbes are microscopic cells which have lots of different properties i.e: a nuclease; cell wall, etc. Microbes are used in medicine: for example penicillin is a type of fungus. Are body's contain countless types of microbes; and you are spreading them every time you touch; breathe, talk, sneeze etc. Microbes or bacteria thrive in warm (not hot!) conditions and is the courses things such as mold to grow. Never think as microbes as being bad/ not good for you! We would not live with out them!
