Detailed explanation-1: -While a viral infection such as the common cold may cause a metallic taste, a bacterial infection (including strep throat) without mucus/coughing typically won’t. Instead, this type of infection may cause a foul or bad taste.

Detailed explanation-2: -Microorganisms cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. The microorganisms are very small and cannot be seen by the unaided eye. They can only be seen by instruments called the microscopes. Microorganisms cannot be smelled.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flavour compounds develop when micro-organisms grow and their enzymes break down the components of the basal materials such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. The end products of metabolism can be elements such as amino acids, fatty acids and nucleotides, which impart particular flavour characteristics.
