Diseases Caused by Microorganisms
Pathogens attack and kill cells and tissues of the host directly or indirectly by producing toxins. Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa can reproduce inside and outside a host while viruses can only reproduce inside a living host. Specific diseases are caused by specific microorganisms and show specific signs and symptoms..

Harmful Microorganisms
Some microorganisms are harmful to humans, animals and plants because they cause diseases. They can also result in food turning bad and rotten. This may lead food poisoning if the food is consumed. Microorganisms that cause diseases are called pathogens. Pathogens consist of viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa.

Pathogens are classified as parasites or saprophytes. Parasites live inside a living organism called the host, for example a human being or a cow. Saprophytes live on dead tissues such as decaying plants and animals. Some bacteria turn food rotten and unsafe for consumption. These microorganisms decompose food and release toxins (poison) which result in food poisoning. Signs and symptoms of food poisoning are vomiting, stomach ache and diarrhea.
