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.
