A microorganism, and in this case, refers usually to disease-causing ones.
The shortened term for microorganism (see microorganism).
Minute living organism such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses
a microscopically visible organism in the size range of 1/100 to 1/1000 millimeter, mostly consisting of only a single cell. Individual Bacteria and Archaea are microbes.
