vi. Conclusion
The pathogenic microorganisms- bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa trigger infectious illnesses. Typhoid, cholera, TB, and anthrax are all caused by bacteria. The common cold, measles, polio, hepatitis A, smallpox, covid-19, etc. are all caused by viruses. The fungi that cause ringworm, athlete’s foot, and malaria are different from the protozoa that cause malaria. To avoid diseases caused by microorganisms, good personal hygiene and a clean environment must be maintained.
The adage “prevention is better than treatment” is often used. Antibiotics and other medications are used to stop or slow the development of microorganisms. However, viral infections are not treatable with these medicines. The quantity and pace of microbial spread determine the depth or severity of an infection.
