There are three main types of micro organism that can cause disease
Bacteria, these are prokaryotes and have no true nucleus. Bacterial diseases include tuberculosis, gonorrhea, tetanus etc. Infections can result when bacteria get into the "wrong parts" of the body and are able to reproduce. For example E.coli is normally excreted in the faeces but if ingested through poor hygience (faecal-oral) or through poor food preparation it can cause stomach upset. Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics.
Fungi, these are eukaryotic organisms and include all yeasts. Fungi cause infections such as thrush, athletes foot and ringworm.
Viruses, these are not alive but can cause damage to host cells. They need a host cell in order to grow and reproduce. Viral diseases include HIV, Influenza, measles, chicken pox, herpes. Antibiotics do not work on viruses as they need body cells to reproduce. When they leave the cell in which they invade they cause damage to the cell resulting in symptoms of the disease,
Three different types of bacteria are Escherichia coli (E. coli), Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. E. coli is commonly found in the intestines and can cause foodborne illnesses. Streptococcus pyogenes can cause strep throat and skin infections, while Staphylococcus aureus can lead to skin infections and food poisoning.
Pathogens.
The main bacteria that cause contamination of food include Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Campylobacter. These bacteria can cause foodborne illnesses when consumed in contaminated food.
The causative agent of Lyme Disease is Borrelia burgdorferi, a type of spirochete.For more information about Lyme disease, go to www.lyme.org and http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org
Decomposition: Bacteria help break down organic matter, returning essential nutrients to the environment. Nitrogen fixation: Bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use, supporting plant growth. Symbiosis: Bacteria form beneficial relationships with other organisms, such as those in the human gut, aiding in digestion and protection from pathogens. Disease-causing: Some bacteria can cause diseases in plants, animals, and humans, impacting ecosystem balance. Bioremediation: Bacteria can degrade pollutants and contaminants, helping to clean up environmental spills and waste.
There are actually three ways that bacteria can cause disease, although the first two are the most commonly cited. 1. Bacteria can cause disease directly by actually attacking and digesting human cells and tissues. 2. Bacteria can cause disease indirectly by producing harmful by-products that harm surrounding tissues. 3. Bacteria can cause disease indirectly by provoking an immune response. In order for this one to count, the immune response must result in the body's immune system destroying or damaging cells and tissue in its attempt to destroy the bacteria. Some bacteria are capable of damaging the body using all three of these mechanisms.
This disease is most often caused by types 3 and 7

A pathogen is a microorganism that causes disease or illness in its host. Examples of pathogens include bacteria (e.g. Escherichia coli), viruses (e.g. Influenza virus), and fungi (e.g. Candida albicans).

Spiral-shaped bacteria like Helicobacter pylori can cause diseases such as stomach ulcers and gastritis. Another example is Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection.
Some types of hereditary diseases are 1) Tay-Sachs Disease, 2) Hemophilia, 3) Sickle Cell Disease, 4) Huntington's Disease, and many many more.

Pathogens are disease-causing organisms that invade the body. They include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These microorganisms can cause infections and illnesses in their host.
Lyme Disease is caused by a bacteria transmitted by ticks. In the United States, the bacteria responsible is known as Borrealia burgdorferi. In Europe, it is most often referred to as Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii.There are about 11 species of the Borrelia bacteria but just 3 are known to carry the bacteria.The Borrelia carriers of this disease are Deer Ticks and Sheep ticks. When these infected ticks bite animals such as Sheep and the same is consumed by humans, we become infected with the disease.
