# Germ

### From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Germs are bacteria, tiny (microscopic) animals that can cause people to become sick. This does not include viruses, since most experts say viruses are not really alive. But many people may call viruses "germs" also, in everyday speech.
