Pathogen

Escherichia is a genus of gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria. Its most important representative and most relevant to human pathogens is Escherichia coli (E. coli). Escherichia belong to the enterobacteria and make a small one

The TBE virus is the causative agent of early summer meningoencephalitis (TBE). The tick is considered to be the main vector of the flu-like illness. The course is very variable. In the worst case, severe complications and even long-term damage can occur

Filamentary fungi consist of unicellular, thread-like hyphae that can branch out to form braids. Of the multitude of existing types of filamentous fungi, primarily pathogenic skin fungi and indirectly also molds are relevant to health f

Flagellates are unicellular organisms that use flagella to move around. Some flagellates can cause disease in humans.

Flaviviruses belong to the Togaviridae family and include several species that can cause a variety of diseases - including tick encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis and Murray Valley encephalitis, and yellow fever and

Flaviviridae are viruses that are classified as RNA viruses due to their single-stranded RNA. The genera Pestivirus, Flavivirus and Hepacivirus belong to the Flaviviridae family.

Fox tapeworms are parasites that live at the expense of their intermediate hosts and main hosts and implant themselves in their tissues. The endoparasites mainly use rodents as intermediate hosts, weaken them and, together with the animal, become larger ones

Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of the infectious disease tularemia. The pathogen is a rod-shaped bacterium from the Pasteurellacae family.

The yellow fever virus is one of the so-called flavi viruses and triggers the life-threatening infectious disease yellow fever. This is transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes (Africa) and Haemagogus (South America). It occurs in tropical regions

Gardnerella vaginalis is a rod-like bacterium that is part of the vaginal flora. If it colonizes the vagina in high numbers, it can cause bacterial vaginosis, which may be followed by inflammation of the vagina (colpitis). Named

Haemophilus is a genus of 16 different species of rod-shaped, gram-negative, bacteria that all belong to the Pasteurellaceae family. The facultative (temporarily) anaerobic bacteria can colonize and benefit mucous membranes

Gonococci are bacteria whose medical significance is that they can cause the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is transmitted through sexual intercourse and typically manifests itself as a purulent discharge

Milk mushrooms are called Geotrichum candidum in microbiology and colonize the acidic environment of many dairy products. The fungi occur naturally in the human intestine, the oral mucosa and the lungs and are beneficial for healthy people

Hookworms are small intestinal parasites. Two types of them can affect humans and cause hookworm disease.

The bacteria of the genus Haemophilus influenzae are rod-shaped pathogens that usually live on the mucous membranes of humans and are transmitted by means of droplet infection. The genus of hemophilia includes 16 species, almost all of them without oxygen

Yeasts are eukaryotic protozoa. There are currently about 60 different genera of yeast with 500 species known.

The hepatitis A virus causes a widespread infectious disease that occurs mainly in poorer regions of the world. According to the World Health Organization, around 1.4 million people develop it every year. The consequences include a headache

Hepatitis B is transmitted by the hepatitis B virus, which causes inflammation of the liver. The disease is usually transmitted through sexual or blood contact. The disease rarely manifests itself in its course through symptoms.

Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that is often found on the lining of the human stomach. Helicobacter pylori infection is an important risk factor for inflammation, ulcers and cancer in the stomach and intestines. Colonization

The hepatitis C virus is an RNA virus that occurs worldwide. It causes hepatitis C.
