A live-attenuated vaccine is made from a living microbe that has been weakened or attenuated to reduce its virulence. This type of vaccine mimics a natural infection, stimulating a strong immune response without causing severe illness. Examples include the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and oral polio vaccines.

What makes a microbe a microbe?
A microbe is a microscopic organism, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that can only be seen with a microscope. They are typically single-celled and have simple cellular structures. Their small size allows them to reproduce rapidly and adapt to various environments.
Which microbe can't be killed by antibiotics?
Viruses are microscopic and can not be killed by antibiotics (against life) as they are not living.
What are the living things is a desert ecosystem?
The most abundant microbe in the desert is a blue-green bacterium called Microcoleus. One unique type microbe in the desert is the so called "desert varnish," a type of fungus that can turn desert rocks all shades of green, orange, and yellow. Another microbe found in the desert is lichens, a mix of fungus and algal cells.
What is the smallest microbe?
Viruses are the smallest microbes known that cause disease. They are sub-microscopic. This means that they can not be seen with a regular microscope because they are too small (measured in nanometers). It takes an electron microscope to see a virus particle. The second microbe that is among the smallest would be bacteria and then probably protists, as a generalization, after that (protists and bacteria have wider ranges of sizes than viruses). Bacteria are microscopic living organisms, while the viruses are non-living sub-microscopic organisms. Protists are single-celled living organisms, such as protozoa.
What is the microbe which is able to recycle nutrients from dead organism called?
The microbe that is able to recycle nutrients from dead organisms is called a decomposer. Decomposers play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter into simpler forms, releasing nutrients back into the ecosystem for other living organisms to use. Examples of decomposers include bacteria, fungi, and certain types of insects.
Why is it not really correct to call a virus a microbe?
It is incorrect to call a virus a microbe because a microbe is a living organism, while a virus is not. Viruses do not exhibit all the characteristics necessary to be classified as a living organism.
The best example for attenuated-living vaccine is?
B.C.G Vaccine
What makes a microbe a microbe?

What is the difference between a microbe and bacteria?
Bacteria are tiny living things. Some bacteria are good and some are not good. The difference between bacteria and a microbe, is a word used to describe tiny living things, which means that bacteria is a microbe, however, not all microbes are bacteria. A microbe can also be fungi, and protists, as well as bacteria.
Which microbe can't be killed by antibiotics?
Viruses are microscopic and can not be killed by antibiotics (against life) as they are not living.
What is the most common harmful microbe?
It varies greatly depending on location, living conditions, etc. That being said, I would think that E. coli would be the most common "harmful" microbe.

Why do toxins need to be inactivated before being used in vaccines?
A toxin is a poisonous substance produced by living cells or organisms. Toxins produced by microorganism are important virulence determinants responsible for microbial pathogencity and/or evasion the host immune response. This will alter the human physiology when taken so to avoid the bad effect of toxin it is first inactivated and then used as vaccine which is known as toxoid.
How is a vaccine able to produce immunity?
A vaccine is a substance that contains an anti-gen to which the immune system responds. Antigens can be derived from living but attenuated (weakened) organisms, dead organisms, or parts of organisms."When the vaccine or toxoid is administered, the immune system recognizes it as foreign and produces antibodies, or sometimes cytotoxic T cells, and memory cells.This immune response is the same as the one that occurs during the course of a disease. The disease itself does not occur either because whole organisms are not used or because they have been sufficiently weakened to have lost their virulence. In other words, vaccines retain important antigenic properties but lack the ability to cause disease.
Is the tuberculosis vaccine a live vaccine?
TB vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine (LAV). This type of vaccine prepared from living micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria currently available) that have been weakened under laboratory conditions.LAV vaccines will replicate in a vaccinated individual and produce an immune response but usually cause a mild or no disease.
