Pathogen

Listeria monocytogenes is a species of bacteria from the Firmicutes division. The germ belongs to the genus Listeria. The generic name Listeria was named after the English surgeon Joseph Lister. The species name was Monocytogenes

Leishmanias are protozoa that are pathogenic to humans. The parasites spread via two host organisms and change their host between insect and vertebrate. Infection with leishmania leads to leishmaniasis.

Ectoparasites are called lice. Some kinds of them affect humans.

Listeria are commonly found in raw foods like ground beef, raw milk, fish, and salads. These are extremely adaptable bacteria that can be found all over the world and hardly need any nutrients to survive. How resilient

Malassezia furfur is a yeast that occurs in the natural flora of almost everyone. The microorganism does not normally harm its host, but can multiply under certain circumstances and then call inflammation

Meningococci are bacterial pathogens that are transmitted from person to person by droplet infection. The pathogens can cause serious diseases - but it does not always have to lead to an outbreak

Microsporum is a genus of individual types of fungi that belong to the dermatophytes and Fungi imperfecti and are taxonomic representatives of the real hose fungi. The most important representatives of the genus include representatives of the species Microsporum

The Merkel cell polyomavirus causes skin cancer in humans. This one has a malicious form and is considered to be aggressive. The virus was first discovered in the early 21st century.

The mites are a subclass of arachnids. Some species can cause disease in humans.

The mumps virus (Paramyxovirus parotitis) is distributed worldwide in only one single basic form (serotype) and occurs only in humans. It is the causative agent of mumps (also called goat peter, Bauernwetzel or booby).

Mycobacteria are a genus of aerobic bacteria. Some of their species cause serious diseases such as leprosy and tuberculosis.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a bacterial species from the Mycobacteriaceae family. The species is considered to be pathogenic to humans and corresponds to the most important tuberculosis pathogen. Every third person is estimated to be infected with tuberculosis.

Mycoplasma fermentans is a parasitic microorganism in the form of a bacterium that has already been detected in various regions of the human body. It belongs to the class of Mollicutes, specifically to the family of Mycoplasmataceae.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the bacteria. The germ triggers u. a. atypical pneumonia.

Acinetobacter baumannii is a dangerous hospital germ that is pathogenic to humans. The bacterium mainly affects people who have a weak immune system.

Parasites look specifically for a host to multiply. As a rule, the host feeds the parasites, but does not die in the process. Nevertheless, unpleasant complaints arise that make treatment necessary.

Mycoplasma hominis is a type of bacteria that inhabits the human intestine as a commensal. The germ can sometimes cause urinary tract infections.

Amoebas belong to the unicellular group. Many amoebas are pathogenic and can cause serious illness in humans.

Mycoplasmataceae is the familial parentage of the bacterial genus Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma. It is a series of types of bacteria that are noticeable for their lack of a cell wall and a pleomorphic shape.

Mycobacteria are a genus within the family Mycobacteriaceae and the order Actinomycetales. They include pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can cause tuberculosis in humans.
