Abstract
The microbial world comprises diverse organisms with a wide range of cellular and molecular organisations. The disease-causing agents may be classified into seven groups: bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminths, arthropods, viruses and prions. Except for viruses and prions, all have a definite cellular structure. However, only the bacteria have a prokaryotic cell structure, while others (except viruses and prions) have a eukaryotic cellular structure. Among medically important organisms, unicellular morphology is exhibited by bacteria, the protozoan parasites and a few fungi.
