Acellular microbes are typically referred to as viruses. Unlike cellular organisms, viruses lack a cellular structure and cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own; they require a host cell to replicate and propagate. Other acellular entities that are sometimes included in discussions about acellular microbes are viroids and prions, which are infectious agents consisting of RNA and misfolded proteins, respectively.
