WebMD can't help you with this. As far as careers, there's virology, bacteriology, microbiology, immunology and probably more, including infectious disease.
Cells don't "grow to become viruses and [bacteria]". They start out that way. This is a complicated and lengthy topic that can't be adequately explained here in this limited space.
Start with a search for "origin of viruses" and another one for bacteria. Search also for "replication of viruses" and again, the same for bacteria. Search for "history of disease" and the individual histories of each disease/infection you're interested in. Most any website will be adequate but I advise you to look at several about each subject.
And you don't have to be in college to visit a medical school library. This is a great resource for information.
the best place i get information is web md. good luck
Good for you for wanting to expand your learning. Try NIH
http://health.nih.gov/ Any Site that ends in .gov or .ed is your best bet for researching and learning. Most Universities with a good medical program have some great sites.
