Yes, bacteria are larger and more complex than prions. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that have a cell structure and can carry out various biological functions, while prions are infectious proteins that do not have a cell structure.
Prions are not susceptible to antibacterial or antiviral drugs because they are not living organisms like bacteria or viruses. Prions are misfolded proteins that cause other proteins to misfold, leading to disease. They are resistant to most traditional forms of disinfection or drug treatment.
Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotic organisms that can reproduce independently and have cellular structures, including a cell wall and metabolic machinery. In contrast, viruses, viroids, and prions are acellular entities; viruses require a host cell to replicate, viroids consist of short RNA strands without a protein coat, and prions are misfolded proteins that induce misfolding in normal proteins. Additionally, bacteria can carry out metabolic processes and respond to stimuli, while viruses and prions do not exhibit metabolic activity.
A virus is a self-assembling collection of proteins and genetic material, a bacteria is a free-living single cell and a protist is a complex organism consisting of multiple cells. Prions are mis-folded proteins, so they would be classified as none of the above. Their discovery in the 1970s by a researcher in California was dismissed until the discovery of BSE in cattle in the late 1980s in the United Kingdom, because they were a novel method of infection.

There are many things considered to microscopic microorganisms. The term organism means that these are alive so viruses, viroids and prions are not part of the group. That leaves bacteria of various sizes and shapes, protozoa and phytoplankton.

Mad Cow Disease cannot be identified by a gram stain. Mad Cow Disease is caused by prions, incorrectly folded proteins. Gram staining is a way to separate bacteria into two groups - positive and negative - and cannot be used to identify prions, since prions are not bacteria.

No. Mad Cow Disease is caused by prions, or misfolded proteins, not bacteria or viruses. Your immune system cannot nor have any means of fighting these prions because they are not recognized by the immune system as a threat.
