QDT summarizes it thus:
  • "Germs" is a catch-all term that covers bacteria, viruses, and other microscopic particles that cause illness in humans.
  • Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms. Many don't cause disease and are even beneficial, although some are disease-causing (pathogenic).
  • Viruses are even smaller than bacteria. Viruses can't reproduce without a host.
QDT goes into more detail at the site 'those words' hyperlinked-to—words built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Germ” is built on ancient words that mean "|Spring, Offshoot, |Sprout, Bud" (possibly related to "Give Birth, Beget (with derivatives referring to |Procreation & Tribal- & Familial-Groups)"). 
The word “Virus” is built on ancient words that mean "Poison" (to Melt Away, |Flow; Poisonous |Fluid, Venom, Sticky Substance, |Birdlime, |Mistletoe, Cherry). 
The word “Bacteria” is built on ancient words that mean "|Staff used for Support, |Peg" (|Rod, |Hook, Pin, |Bolt).
