 Meaning/Definition

PATHOGEN
An organism with the ability to
cause diseases. The greater the
organism’s virulence ( ability to
grow and multiply), invasiveness
(ability to enter tissues), and
pathogenicity (ability to cause
diseases), the greater the
possibility that the organism will
cause an infection, infectious
agents are bacteria, virus, fungi,
protozoa and parasitic worm.

cause tetanus or lockjaw.
Other bacteria cause pneumonia.
