Types:
There are actually three types of flu virus, known as A, B and C. Type A is the worst, as it is the type that causes flu pandemics every few years. Type B typically causes smaller influenza outbreaks that are usually localized. However, it can also be responsible for epidemics. The mildest flu virus is Type C and when it is contracted it only causes mild symptoms or none at all. According to MedicineNet, flu viruses are continually mutating to defeat the antibodies that a person develops after previous infections.
Causes:
Infections by a flu virus are typically caused by airborne transmission. An inflected person sneezes or coughs in the vicinity of others, giving the flu virus the opportunity to enter their bodies when they breathe droplets expelled by the carrier person. An influenza infection can also be caused by touching an object that was previously touched and infected by someone with the flu. This allows the virus to get on an uninfected person's hands. When he touches his eyes, nose, or mouth, it enters his body and he can become ill with typical symptoms like a headache, chills, a fever, sore throat, coughing, congestion and an aching body. Adults over age 50 are at a greater risk for contracting the flu, as are those with fragile immune systems.

Is the H1N1 bacteria?
H1N1 refers to a subtype of the influenza virus, not a bacteria. Influenza viruses can cause respiratory illness in humans and animals. It is important to note that viruses and bacteria are different types of microorganisms that can cause different types of infections.
What is the difference between N1H1 and H1N1?
MRSA is a bacteria (Staph A) that is resistant to the usual antibiotics and therefore hard to treat when it causes an infection. H1N1 is a virus that can cause influenza, like swine flu. Both can be severe infections that require hospitalization and intensive treatment measures.
What type of gram is H1N1 bacteria gram-positive or gram-negative?
neither...it is a virus, and gram-staining, a microbiology tool, is not used to help identify or classify a virus
How can you use bacterium in a sentence?

Is H1N1 alive?
Because it is caused by a virus, H1N1 is not actually alive. Viruses are called "active" or "inactive" usually, because they are different than bacteria and other microbes that are actually living microscopic organisms.

What is salmonella typhi?

Are there helpful bacteria in the H1N1 09 vaccine?
No, the vaccines are purified and treated to remove any such contaminants. Any bacteria mixed in with the virus and vaccine medium would not be helpful, the multi-use vials of vaccines contain preservatives to prevent bacterial growth.The H1N1/09 influenza is caused by a virus. Some particles of "dead" H1N1/09 virus (or in some types of the vaccines-weakened live virus), are the active ingredient in the vaccines that make our bodies become immune to that specific virus. Bacteria play no role in this process.
