There are a wide variety of microorganisms harmful to food, or causing food to spoil or become contaminated.

Most are bacteria and fungi (which include molds and yeasts). There are also a few other types of microorganisms which are neither bacteria nor fungi, which cause food-borne illness, but these are less common.

Most of the problem is caused by bacteria, and then fungi...and there are too many to list here or name explicitly.
