Lesson Objectives:
To understand the features of some microbes.
To understand the effects of microbes on the
body.
To understand the importance of good hygiene.
MicrobesMicrobes
Microbes and micro-organisms are tiny living organisms
that are so small they are invisible to the naked eye. You
need a microscope to see them.
There are three main types of microbes:
Bacteria
Viruses
Fungi
MicrobesMicrobes
Microbes can be both helpful to humans and harmful.
Can
you think of ways in which microbes can be useful and
ways in which they can be harmful?
Helpful
Harmful
MicrobesMicrobesHelpful
Microbes (bacteria) will grow in milk to make it ‘go off’. This is used in the yoghurt
making process. Cheese is also another product made due to the use of microbes
in industry.
Another type of microbe (fungi) are used to make Quorn which is a commonly
used meat substitute.
Yeast is a microbe which respires to give off carbon dioxide. This is used in baking
bread and in beer making.
HarmfulMicrobes can cause disease these are known as pathogens, the scientific name for a
germ.
The type of the disease and its severity depends on the microbe. Diseases caused by
microbes range from flu, athletes foot, chicken pox and food poisoning to cholera and
typhoid.
Bacteria Bacteria A bacterium (that’s one bacteria) is a simple creature made of just one cell.
Many bacteria have a long spinning tail that helps them move.
Bacteria are often no more than one thousandth of a millimetre long and come in different forms.
Bacteria can cause diseases such as food poisoning, cholera and typhoid.
Bacteria can multiply at incredibly fast speeds

Viruses Viruses
Viruses are the smallest of all microbes.
Viruses are non living microbes but they are not cells – they
consist of a protein coating and a strand of genes.
Viruses need a living host cell to allow them to reproduce and
survive.
Viruses cause the common cold and flu.
Viruses also cause things such as verrucas, cold sores and warts.
FungiFungi
There are many types of fungi including moulds, rusts, yeasts and mushrooms.
Fungi can live in water, in soil or on a damp surface.
Fungi can live for hundreds of years.
Mould Yeast – spores Yeast - hyphae
Growing BacteriaGrowing Bacteria
Water - Bacteria can’t grow without it.
Food - Any amount of material containing carbon.
Temperature - Optimum temperature 37ºC.
Time – Bacteria keeps on multiplying, the longer the time, the more will grow.
How do Microbes How do Microbes Spread?Spread?
The spreading of microbes and disease is known as transmission.
Microbes can be transmitted in a number of ways.
Air – a cough or sneeze can release millions of microbes into the air
which can then infect another person.
Water – dirty water can transmit a number of diseases such as
cholera.
Animals – an animal such as a mosquito can carry disease from
person to person and from water. Malaria is one such disease which
can be passed this way.
Contact – many microbes can be passed from person to person
through direct or indirect contact. Direct contact by hand or indirect
by touching a contaminated area and picking up the microbes.
How can we avoid bacteria and
viruses spreading?
Stopping InfectionStopping Infection
Washing hands with antibacterial hand wash and water.
Cleaning surfaces correctly.
Catching coughs and sneezes in a tissue.
Drinking clean water.
Protecting ourselves from insects and wild animals.
Did you know that washing your hands correctly is the best
way to avoid transmitting microbes?
