Pathogenic Microbes

Pathogenic microbes are tiny organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can cause disease in humans. They invade the body, multiply, and disrupt normal functions, leading to illnesses ranging from mild infections like colds to severe conditions like infections or pandemics. While many microbes are harmless or even beneficial, pathogenic microbes possess specific traits that allow them to infect hosts and evade the immune system. Preventing their spread involves good hygiene, vaccinations, and medical treatment. Understanding these microbes helps in controlling and preventing infectious diseases effectively.
