Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium often responsible for infections of the skin and eyes, including wound and burn infections, hot tub rash, otitis externa, and bacterial keratitis.

Lymes disease is severe and chronic bacterial infection of the circulatory system caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium, which is transmitted via deer tick bites.

Viral Hepatitis is a common viral infection of the liver caused by one or more of five strains of the hepatitisvirus, which differ in their modes of transmission, treatment, and potential for chronic infection.

Microbial populations commonly grow as biofilms, which are communities of microorganisms enmeshed in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances secreted by the organisms themselves  

Strongyloides stercoralis is the intestinal nematode responsible for causing strongyloidiasis.

Tuberculosis is a severe nervous system infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Antibiotic resistant forms are common and treatment is typically long term.

Strep throat is a common respiratory infection caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes.

Vaginal candidiasis is the only known mycoses of the reproductive system. It occurs due to disruptions in the normal vaginal microbiota leading to an overgrowth of Candida spp.

Lymphocytes are categorized as B cells, T cells, or natural killer (NK) cells

All microbial populations grow equally under the same environmental conditions. As such, understanding the environmental factors that influence the survival and reproduction of different microbe populations has no implications for control and regulation
