Seattle Times(Nov 13, 2016) The human body is home to trillions of micro-organisms - estimates suggest our own tissues are so heavily outnumbered that our bodies are just 10% human. BBC(Nov 06, 2016) One theory is climate change: that small gradations in climate can create new habitats for micro-organisms, or keep them alive and active for longer. BBC(Jul 30, 2016) n any organism of microscopic size Syn|Hypo|Hyper microorganism monad (biology) a single-celled microorganism (especially a flagellate protozoan) intestinal floraharmless microorganisms (as Escherichia coli) that inhabit the intestinal tract and are essential for its normal functioning virus(virology) ultramicroscopic infectious agent that replicates itself only within cells of living hosts; many are pathogenic; a piece of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) wrapped in a thin coat of protein moneran, moneronorganisms that typically reproduce by asexual budding or fission and whose nutritional mode is absorption or photosynthesis or chemosynthesis bacteria, bacterium(microbiology) single-celled or noncellular spherical or spiral or rod-shaped organisms lacking chlorophyll that reproduce by fission; important as pathogens and for biochemical properties; taxonomy is difficult; often considered to be plants bug, germ, microbea minute life form (especially a disease-causing bacterium); the term is not in technical use pathogenany disease-producing agent (especially a virus or bacterium or other microorganism) protoctistany of the unicellular protists protist, protistanfree-living or colonial organisms with diverse nutritional and reproductive modes microfloramicroscopic plants; bacteria are often considered to be microflora arborvirus, arbovirusa large heterogeneous group of RNA viruses divisible into groups on the basis of the virions; they have been recovered from arthropods, bats, and rodents; most are borne by arthropods; they are linked by the epidemiologic concept of transmission between vertebrate hosts by arthropod vectors (mosquitoes, ticks, sandflies, midges, etc.) that feed on blood; they can cause mild fevers, hepatitis, hemorrhagic fever, and encephalitis bacteriophage, phagea virus that is parasitic (reproduces itself) in bacteria plant virusa plant pathogen that is a virus consisting of a single strand of RNA animal virusan animal pathogen that is a virus slow virusa virus that remains dormant in the body for a long time before symptoms appear archaebacteria, archaebacterium, archaeobacteria, archeobacteriaconsidered ancient life forms that evolved separately from bacteria and blue-green algae acidophil, acidophilean organism that thrives in a relatively acid environment probiotic, probiotic bacterium, probiotic flora, probiotic microfloraa beneficial bacterium found in the intestinal tract of healthy mammals; often considered to be a plant bacteroida rodlike bacterium (especially any of the rod-shaped or branched bacteria in the root nodules of nitrogen-fixing plants) eubacteria, eubacterium, true bacteriaa large group of bacteria having rigid cell walls; motile types have flagella Calymmatobacterium, genus Calymmatobacteriuma genus of bacterial rods containing only the one species that causes granuloma inguinale Francisella, genus Francisellaa genus of Gram-negative aerobic bacteria that occur as pathogens and parasite in many animals (including humans) Neisseria gonorrhoeae, gonococcusthe pus-producing bacterium that causes gonorrhea tumor virusa cell-free filtrate held to be a virus responsible for a specific neoplasm vector(genetics) a virus or other agent that is used to deliver DNA to a cell Legionella pneumophilia, legionellathe motile aerobic rod-shaped Gram-negative bacterium that thrives in central heating and air conditioning systems and can cause Legionnaires' disease nitrobacteriumany of the bacteria in the soil that take part in the nitrogen cycle; they oxidize ammonium compounds into nitrites or oxidize nitrites into nitrates penicillin-resistant bacteriabacteria that are unaffected by penicillin pus-forming bacteriabacteria that produce pus rodany rod-shaped bacterium diplococcusGram-positive bacteria usually occurring in pairs protozoan, protozoonany of diverse minute acellular or unicellular organisms usually nonphotosynthetic alga, algaeprimitive chlorophyll-containing mainly aquatic eukaryotic organisms lacking true stems and roots and leaves superbuga strain of bacteria that is resistant to all antibiotics being, organism a living thing that has (or can develop) the ability to act or function independently |
