They are called pathogens.
Scientists refer to organisms or proteins that can make people sick as pathogens. Pathogens are capable of causing disease in their host, which can range from bacteria and viruses to parasites and prions.
Microbes that make you sick are often referred to as pathogens or harmful bacteria. These microorganisms can cause infections or diseases in the human body.
Bacteria can be attacked by viruses known as bacteriophages. The bacteriophage may cause the bacterium to lyse (split open) effectivly killing the bacteria. Sometimes the bacteriophage places its DNA onto the bacteria's DNA (lysogeny) this would make the bacteria reproduce more slowly and could cause the bacteria other problems depending where the bacteriophage's DNA was placed. So, I suppose bacteria can get viruses and get sick or even die.
Yes, having a fever when sick can be beneficial as it helps the body fight off infections by stimulating the immune system and slowing down the growth of bacteria and viruses.
Viruses make us sick by invading our bodies and hijacking our cells to replicate themselves. This process can damage our cells and tissues, leading to symptoms of illness as our immune system responds to the infection.
BACTERIA release harmful toxins. VIRUSES take over your cells completely and make copies of themselves! : )
The are microbes like bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoans
No. They are bacteria. Viruses are non-living particles. They make you sick by landing on a living cell, reproducing using the cell, and then destroying the cell. The new viruses do the same. Bacteria are living single-celled organisms. The few that make you sick (about 1/15 of bacteria are pathogenic, meaning make you sick) make you sick by taking the nutrients out of other living cells. So, technically, since bacteria and viruses are completely different things, I don't think there's a such thing as a bacterial virus as one organism
Pathogens. These are typically bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that can cause disease by invading the body's tissues. Common examples include influenza viruses, E. coli bacteria, and malaria parasites.
Bacteria and viruses can make people very sick if a toilet isn't clean.
shutup
Babies get sick for the same reason everybody does: viruses, bacteria and other diseases.
Bacteria fungi is an example of a bacterial disease. Parasitic worms is an example of a parasitic disease. Both can make you sick.

a bacteria called yeast. the bacteria wont make you sick.
No, there is no live bacteria in flu shots. Flu shots are to prevent the flu which is caused by a virus, not bacteria. The various flu vaccines contain pieces of viruses that are treated to be able to give you immunization, but not make you sick from the virus contained in the vaccination. The flu shots contain inert ("dead") viruses or pieces of viruses instead of whole particles. The flu mist used in the nasal vaccination is made with active ("live") but weakened viruses that can not make you sick if you have an otherwise healthy body and immune system.
Sheep can catch viruses which can make them sick but they don't have viruses all the time.
