The environment in space is to harsh to support life of a type similar to earthly organisms. I could imagine a space based life form that used radiation as a fuel source, but not one that used earthly type organisms for sustenance.
Even if microorganisms lived in space, (very unlikely), and they could survive on earth (very unlikely) and they survived reentry on a spacecraft(very unlikely) they would have to be able to damage human cells (very unlikely). I would have to say that the possibility is extraordinarily remote. Not a bad question, though. As the space program grows, it may be something that needs to be looked at, especially if we land and return from other planets. I would think the possibilities would be much greater of this happening from an excursion to a planetary surface.

No. There are no diseases in space. What would carry them?
