  4. Viruses

The correct answer is: Lactobacillus

Bacteria, fungi, and viruses are all types of organisms that can cause infections and diseases in humans. However, lactobacillus is a type of bacteria that is usually beneficial and does not typically cause infections. It is commonly found in probiotic products and helps maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in our bodies. Therefore, it is the exception in this list of potentially harmful organisms.
