Microorganisms
Introduction
A microorganism, or microbe, is an organism of
microscopic size, which may exist in its single-celled
form or as a colony of cells. The study
of microorganisms is called microbiology.
Microorganisms can be bacteria, fungi,
archaea,Virus or protozoans. These microbes play
key roles in nutrient cycling,
biodegradation/biodeterioration, climate change, food
spoilage, the cause and control of disease, and
biotechnology. Thanks to their versatility, microbes can
be put to work in many ways: making life-saving
drugs, the manufacture of biofuels, cleaning up
pollution, and producing/processing food and drink.
BACTERIA
VIRUS
FUNGUS
BACTERIA
Escherchia Coli
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacterium usually found in the
gut of human and animals. Most strains of E.coli are not
harmful, but some produce toxins that can lead to illnesses
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive round-shaped
bacterium, a member of the Firmicutes, and is a usual member
of the microbiota of the body, frequently found in the upper
respiratory tract and on the skin.
Streptococcus pyogenes
Streptococcus pyogenes, or Group A streptococcus (GAS), is a
facultative, Gram-positive coccus which grows in chains and
causes numerous infections in humans including pharyngitis,
tonsillitis, scarlet fever, cellulitis, erysipelas, rheumatic fever etc
Salmonella thyphi
Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi) are bacteria that infect the
intestinal tract and the blood. The disease is referred to as
typhoid fever.
Vibrio Cholerae
Vibrio cholerae is a species of Gram-negative, facultative
anaerobe and comma-shaped bacteria. The bacteria naturally
live in brackish or saltwater where they attach themselves easily
to the chitin-containing shells of crabs, shrimps, and other
shellfish.
Rickettsia rickettsi
Rickettsiae and rickettsia-like bacteria are usually spread to
people through the bites of ticks, mites, fleas, or lice. Most tick-
borne rickettsial diseases cause sudden fever, chills, and
headache (possibly severe).
Haemophilus influenzae
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is a bacterial infection that
can cause a number of serious illnesses, particularly in young
children. It spread person-to-person by direct contact or through
respiratory droplets like coughing and sneezing.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium
tuberculosis) and it most often affects the lungs. TB is spread
through the air when people with lung TB cough, sneeze and
transfer of droplets
VIRUS
Corona virus
Coronavirus are a group of RNA viruses that cause disease in
mammals and animals. In humans and birds, it causes
respiratory diseases which may range from mild to lethal
Pox virus
Pox virus is an infectious agent belonging to the virus family
Poxviridae that can infect humans and animals. It causes small
pox
Retro Virus
A retrovirus is a virus that uses RNA as its genetic material.
When a retrovirus infects a cell, it makes a DNA copy of its
genome that is inserted into the DNA of the host cell. There are
a variety of different retroviruses that cause human diseases such
as some forms of cancer and AIDS.
Human Immunodficiency Virus
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks
the body's immune system. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to
AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)
Rabdo Virus(Rabies)
Rabies is a preventable viral disease most often transmitted
through the bite of a rabid animal. The rabies virus infects the
central nervous system of mammals, ultimately causing disease
in the brain and death.
Rhino Virus
Rhinovirus (rhin means "nose") infections cause the common
cold. Rhinoviruses may also cause some sore throats, ear
infections, and infections of the sinuses (openings in the bone
near the nose and eyes). They may also cause pneumonia and
bronchiolitis, but this is less common.
FUNGUS
MUSHROOMS
Mushrooms are edible fungus that can provide several
important nutrients. The many kinds of mushroom have varying
compositions and nutritional profiles
Trichophyton rubrum
Trichophyton rubrum is a dermatophytic fungus in the phylum
. AscomycotaIt is an exclusively clonal, anthropophilic
saprotroph that colonizes the upper layers of dead skin, and is
the most common cause of athlete's foot, fungal infection of
nail, jock itch, and ringworm worldwide.
PENCILIUM
Penicillium (/ˌpɛnɪˈsɪliəm/) is a genus of ascomycetous fungi that is part
of the mycobiome of many species and is of major importance in the
natural environment, in food spoilage, and in food and drug production.
MICROSPORIDIA
Microsporidia are a group of spore-forming unicellular parasites.
Microsporidiosis can cause infection of the intestine, lung, kidney,
brain, sinuses, muscles, and eyes.
CONCLUSION
Microbes are tiny living things that are found all around us
and are too small to be seen by the naked eye. They live in
water, soil, and in air. The human body is home to millions
of these microbes too, also called microorganisms. Some
microbes make us sick, others are important to our health.
Most of then microbes in humans live a harmonious
existence with human cells, but disease and infection can be
caused when this balance is disrupted or when the body or
immune system is weakened. Beneficial microbes have an
important role to play in the breakdown of human waste in
sewage plants.

The study of microorganisms is called microbiology. Microorganisms can be bacteria, fungi, archaea,Virus or protozoans.
