* {{Pokemon}} has Solosis and its evolutions, all of which are giant cells. There's also Deyoxs, a giant, humanoid space-virus.

* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-bacterium-part-one This story]] at the SCPFoundation site.

* The third boss of ''ElViento'' is a huge single-celled organism.

* The Amoeba Boys are a gang of three dimwitted crooks in ''ThePowerpuffGirls''. They're about the size of humans, and sort of float along the ground.

* ''SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' featured a brief appearance by ameoba enlarged to human size in the episode that introduced the giant ape "Titano".

* ''SWATKats'' had a legion of [[BlobMonster gigantic purple bacteria monsters]] in its second episode. The trouble is, they didn't much look like germs, possessing eyes, mouths and a definite torso shape with arms and legs, due to the first one having originally been an ordinary guy ([[ExtraEyes more or less]]) who gets mutated by MadScientist [[CompleteMonster Dr. Viper]].

* There's a {{Yu-Gi-Oh|CardGame}} card called Giant Germ that deals damage and acts like an AsteroidsMonster.

This has lead to writers coming up with two different but functionally similar solutions to this problem. Either have the microbe get really really big or have the hero get really really small. This runs almost entirely on YouFailBiologyForever.

* In some ChooseYourOwnAdventure books that involved some shrink-ray device, a few bad endings had microbes (e.g. paramecium, or white blood cells) attach themselves to a object which returns to normal size. In the case of a amoeba, it took Kentucky for breakfast, then [[YouFailGeographyForever Lousiana]] for lunch. Even at their normal microscopic size, they look very large.

** And now [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-371 SCP-371]].
* ''JohnnyBravo'' episode "The Incredible Shrinking Johnny" ends with an amoeba accidentally enlarged to giant size, which proceeds to chase Johnny and Carl down the street.
* ''SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' featured a brief appearance by ameoba enlarged to human size in the episode that introduced the giant ape "Titano".

* The third boss of ''ElViento'' is a huge single-celled organism.

* StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock has a set of microbes that get supersized thanks to the Genesis Effect. Later, they get so big that Captain Kruge gets to have a fight with one of them!
** In one episode of StarTrekTheOriginalSeries, they fight a space amoeba at least as big as a planet.

* ''CityOfHeroes'' has Hamidon, giant single-celled organism and endgame raid boss.
* [[http://www.giantmicrobes.com/ These toys]] are pretty much this trope(in plush form).However not all are infectious microbes.One is yeast,a few are cells
* The comic ''{{Irritability}}'' played with this once, with Chappy bragging about his victory over a giant plankton.
-->Chappy: It was huge!
-->Tatanya: Like this? ''(Pictures a building-sized plankton screeching "RAR!")''
-->Chappy: ...for a plankton. ''(Pictures himself grasping that same plankton, now about the size of an apple, and saying "I have u now!")''
* There's a {{Yu-Gi-Oh|CardGame}} card called Giant Germ that deals damage and acts like an AsteroidsMonster.
* Most [[{{Mushishi}} mushi]] are pretty much giant ''magical'' microbes.
* In ''FantasticVoyage'', the heros had to survive being caught in the crossfire of anti-bodies versus bacteria, "recticular fibers" that clog the intake ports, an direct attack on Grant and Cora by antibodies, and white corpuscles.

* {{Pokemon}} has Solosis and its evolutions, all of which are giant cells. There's also Deyoxs, a giant, humanoid space-virus.

* Morpha from ''TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', whose BossSubtitles identify as a Giant Aquatic Amoeba.
* The Amoeba Boys are a gang of three dimwitted crooks in ''ThePowerpuffGirls''. They're about the size of humans, and sort of float along the ground.

* ''SWATKats'' had a legion of [[BlobMonster gigantic purple bacteria monsters]] in its second episode. The trouble is, they didn't much look like germs, possessing eyes, mouths and a definite torso shape with arms and legs (likely due to the first one having been created by [[MadScientist Dr. Viper]] mutating another bad guy).

* {{Evolution}} used a giant microbe. Technically, it's an amoeba...

[[CaptainObvious Diseases are scary.]] However germs are rather small. This leads to a bit of a problem. You see scary things can make good villains [[RuleOfPerception but you need to be able to ''see them'']].
