No. They are microorganisms that cause disease.
Microorganisms that cause disease are known as pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi.
Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch are credited with proving the germ theory of disease in the late 19th century.

The disadvantage of microorganisms is that many of them cause disease.

Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch were pioneers in isolating and linking specific microorganisms as the cause of infections. Koch is known for his work in identifying the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, while Pasteur is credited with establishing the germ theory of disease.
