Types of
microorganisms –
causing diseases
a. What are microorganisms?

- Microbes or microorganisms are unicellular

organisms that can not be seen by naked eyes.

-They live in water, soil, and in the air, in our

bodies.

- Some microbes are useful in our day

to day life while others are harmful to
our health.
 B.TYPES OF MICROBES
VIRUSES

- The smallest.
- Can only live inside
the cells of other
living organisms
- Causing influenza,
chicken pox, small
pox and AIDS.
B.TYPES OF MICROBES
BACTERIA
- Single celled
organisms.
- Live in body tissues
between the cells.
- Causing whooping
cough, tuberculosis,
…
B.TYPES OF MICROBES
PROTOZOA
- Single celled
organisms.
- Larger than viruses
and bacteria.
- Causing malaria
and amoebic
dysentery.
B.TYPES OF MICROBES
FUNGI
- The largest one.
- Mushrooms, molds,
yeasts.
- Causing athlete’s
foot, ringworm and
thrush.

CAUSE DISEASEs?

- Microorganisms can cause disease in various ways:

A . I N W H I C H WAY D O M I C R O O R G A N I S M S

CAUSE DISEASEs?
Actual contact Containminated
with an infected food and water
person. Droplets in the air,
coughs and sneezes.

“PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN
CURE!”

THE CONTROL OF MICROORGANISMS
b.HOW CAN WE CONTROL

CLEAN WATER
b.HOW CAN WE CONTROL

Individual health needs vary.

ANTIBIOTICS
– POWERFUL
MEDICATION
 A. WHAT ARE ANTIBIOTICS?
- Powerful medications that treat certain infections and can save lives when used
properly.
- Two types of function:
+ A bactericidal antibiotic  kills the bacteria.
Example: penicillin
+ A bacteriostatic antibiotic  stops bacteria from multiplying.
 A. WHAT ARE ANTIBIOTICS?
IMPORTANT: Antibiotics have no effect on viruses..
b. W h y c a n t he y be a peril ?

Overuse leads to antibiotic-

resistant bacteria.
b. W h y c a n t he y be a peril ?

Disrupting beneficial bacteria in

our bodies, causing issues like
diarrhea or C. difficile infections
b. W h y c a n t he y be a peril ?

Allergic reactions to antibiotics

can threat your life
