The difference between a Bacteria, Germ and Virus 

Germ (jerm)
1. A pathogenic microorganism.
2. A living substance capable of developing into an organism as a whole; a primordium.

--------------------------------------

Virus

Usually involve several parts of the body

Antibiotics CANNOT KILL viruses

A virus is an infectious agent, smaller than bacteria, which requires the cells of a living organism to grow or reproduce. Viruses cause a variety of infectious diseases, among them the common cold, diarrhea, chicken pox, yellow fever, most childhood respiratory diseases and the majority of infections of the upper respiratory passages.

--------------------------------------

Bacteria

Bacteria - bacterial infections include:

Strep throat

Urinary tract infections

Most ear infections

Some sinus infections

And More! 

Are usually localized at a single point in the body
 

Germ and Virus Prevention System

E-Coli

Fungus 

Certain kinds of fungi give off toxic (mycotoxins) spores that can  

be inhaled and cause flu-like symptoms. Mycotoxins are readily absorbed

by the intestinal lining, airways, and skin. Focusing on the Stachybotrys

chartarum fungus, a mold considered to be one of the

more serious threats to people living and working in water-damaged

buildings. Is presentation detailed the variety of potent toxins and immunosuppressant

agents produced by S chartarum, as well as other classes of toxigenic fungi.

MOLD


“All molds have the potential to cause health effects. Molds can

produce allergens that can trigger allergic reactions or even asthma attacks

in people allergic to mold. Others are known to produce potent

toxins and/or irritants,” according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
A number of commonly found mold species are, in fact, toxic

mold, a description applied to any mold that produces mycotoxins in

its spores. Stachybotrys (black mold), Aspergillus, and Penicillium are three of the

most dangerous and commonly found indoor toxic molds.

Mycotoxins are cytotoxic, meaning they have the capacity to pass through

the human cellular wall and disrupt certain cellular processes – potentially

causing serious health damage to workers and customers.

Studies on animals and cell cultures in labs have found toxic

effects from various microbial agents, raising concerns about whether these same

agents growing in buildings can cause illness in people, according to

the 2004 Mold Health Report from the Institute of Medicine

(U.S. Government’s National Academy of Sciences).

MRSA “SuperBug”



What is MRSA?

MRSA stands for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus)

is a type of bacteria that is found in the noses of

about 1 in 3 people. It likes to live in warm moist areas

such as the nostrils, armpits and groin. Such people are said

to be colonised by S. aureus, and called “carriers”. This means that

the bacteria are living on the person, but not causing an

infection. If the bacteria are able to enter the body, such as

through a cut, this may result in infection. Most but not

all infections caused by S. aureus can be treated with antibiotics.






Salmonella



Salmonella bacteria are often found in eggs and on poultry and meats, but can come from other sources. People handling raw poultry and meats can easily contaminate their hands, cutting boards and utensils with Salmonella. Wash and sanitize all items that have been used with raw poultry and meats before using them for other foods. Foods that are not cooked, such as salads and cold sandwiches, can easily make people ill with Salmonella food poisoning.

Staphylococcus



This type of Staph infection can circulate rather quickly in common athletic areas such as gyms and fitness centers. This potentially harmful bacteria can be found on sports equipment, in locker rooms, and on personal hygiene care items such as towels, soaps, and razors. MRSA infections are contagiously spread by skin-to-skin contact through an open cut wound, or contact through personal hygiene care items.
