bacteria
Some diseases caused by microbes include: influenza (virus), tuberculosis (bacteria), malaria (parasite), and athlete's foot (fungus). Microbes can cause a wide range of illnesses in humans and other organisms.
Some examples of unuseful microbes include certain types of bacteria that cause food spoilage, mold that can damage crops or buildings, and certain types of parasites that cause disease in humans and animals. These microbes are considered unuseful because they do not provide any beneficial impact on their environment or host.
The Variola Major Virus Microbe
There are several types of microbes that could cause infection and they may be acute chronic or latent infections. A microbe that could cause an acute infection is rhinovirus, one that could cause a chronic infection is hepatitis C and one that could cause a latent infection is herpes zoster.
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.
Microbial disease.
There are good microbes in your intestines that help you digest food. There are also good microbes in the soil that break down dead plants and other waste, producing nutrients for the next generation of plants. Bad microbes would be the ones that make you sick, such as an infected cut, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc.
Tuberculosis caused due to infection with germs called Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Microbes don't cause HIV. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and the causative agent is a virus.
Robert Koch worked on tuberculosis, not cholera. He is known for isolating and identifying the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the cause of the disease.
Majority of the microbes do not cause the disease. The disease causing microbes also, probably, keeps your species healthy and your immune system tuned.
