I'm aware of plenty of microbes that can cause multiple diseases if present in separate parts of the body: S. aureus causes disease just about everywhere it goes except the surface of the skin and nose, S. pyogenes causes strep throat in the respiratory tract and can be flesh eating if it gets in a wound, P. vulgaris causes wound infections and UTIs. . .I could go on forever.
But I'm looking for an example of a microbe that has multiple characteristic disease states at the same area of infection in the body. Anybody know of one?
