The microorganism responsible for the common cold is a group of viruses known as the Influenza Viruses.

As they are viruses, it is important to remember that they cannot be treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics are useful only against bacterial infections.

The best treatment for viruses is the body's own immune system. However, for dangerous strains, vaccines are developed. These "teach" the immune system to recognize the virus in question and destroy it rapidly.

How do the characteristics of living things contribute to an organism's survival?
givi [52]
Any characteristic, whether a physical trait, a behaviour, a physiological adaptation etc can make an organism more or less likely to survive in a particular environment. 

A dark colour could help a rabbit survive if it lives in a dark forest, because predators can't see it so well, but it would be less likely to survive in the arctic, where the environment is all white and it would show up. 

In terms of the characteristics, think about: does it help the organism get food? Does it help protect the organism from predators? If it does, that organism is more likely to survive, and pass the characteristic on to it's offspring. If a bacterium has a characteristic of not being killed by antibiotics, this will help it to survive and breed.
