Do all germs and viruses belong to unicellular or multicellular cells?

Firstly, viruses aren't cells. They're nucleic acids packaged in proteins. They can infect and reproduce themselves unicellular or multi-cellular organisms, depending on which virus you're talking about. Influenza, for example, is a virus that can reproduce in humans (multicellular organisms). Phage lambda, meanwhile, infects bacteria (unicellular organisms). 'Germs' is a bit of a catch-all term. Most infectious organisms are unicellular, bacteria, protists and so on.
