How to use microbe in a sentence?

  1. Lance Turtle:

    Pneumonia is very rarely actually diagnosed down to which specific microbe is causing it. Not all patients with pneumonia have the same clinical features, these can vary. If a pneumonia case looked a bit different to usual, and if there are fatalities, which seems to be the case here, then you might expect to find the cause. But unexplained pneumonia cases probably happen frequently and are not reported, meaning it is hard to know how common things like this really are.

  2. Aloo Denish:

    Microbiology teaches us that size is no measure of significance; even the smallest microbe can wield immense power. Microbes are the silent warriors; these tiniest beings possess the strength to spark a revolution that can have monumental impacts in the world of science.

  3. Alien Life -RSB- Raymond:

    Each microbe has a specialty and they are complementary.
