There is also a recently discovered type of microbe that can cause a disease, known as a prion. Of these microbes, we can classify them in several different ways. Classification of Microbes: Firstly, it is important to consider the status of prions and viruses. Technically, these “microbes” are not living. Prions are simply misfolded proteins, and viruses are only “alive” when they infect an organism. Thus, both prions and viruses have their own classifications. As for the other organisms, we can classify them in several ways: Eukaryote vs Prokaryote
In this classification scheme, all bacteria are prokaryotes, and fungi, protozoa, helminths and rotifers are eukaryotes. The prokaryotes are further subdivided into eubacteria and archaebacteria.
