A microbe is an organism that is microscopic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microorganism
A microorganism (from the Greek: mikrós, "small" and
organismós, "organism"; also spelled micro organism or
micro-organism) or microbe is an organism that is
microscopic (usually too small to be seen by the naked human
eye).
The study of microorganisms is called microbiology, a
subject that began with Anton van Leeuwenhoek's discovery of
microorganisms in 1675, using a microscope of his own design.
Microorganisms are very diverse; they include bacteria,
*fungi*, archaea, and protists; microscopic plants (called
green algae); and animals such as plankton and the planarian.
Some microbiologists also include viruses, but others
consider these as non-living.[1][2] Most microorganisms are
unicellular (single-celled), but this is not universal,
since some multicellular organisms are microscopic, while
some unicellular protists and bacteria, like Thiomargarita
namibiensis, are macroscopic and visible to the naked
eye.[3]A microbe is an organism that is microscopic.

Isn’t that a yeast(fungi) rather than a bacteria?
