Prions.
The causative microorganism for malaria is a protozoa. The name of that protozoa is Plasmodium.
Pathogenic organisms that might be identified by this culture include: Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci, Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, Corynebacterium diptheriae, the causative agent of diptheria.
A causative organism is a specific microorganism (such as a bacterium, virus, or fungus) that is responsible for causing a particular disease or medical condition in a host organism. Identifying the causative organism is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Robert Koch used Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, to develop his postulates. These postulates are a series of criteria used to establish a causative relationship between a microorganism and a disease.
Whooping cough or Pertussis, is a highly contagious disease caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis.
pertussis
Whooping cough is the common name for pertussis.
The causative agent of whooping cough is the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. It infects the respiratory tract, where it attaches to the ciliated epithelial cells and releases toxins that damage the respiratory lining. This leads to inflammation and increased mucus production, causing the characteristic severe coughing fits associated with the disease. The toxins can also interfere with the immune response, allowing the infection to persist and spread.
