What is pathogen? A microorganism with the potential to cause disease<\/a> is referred to as a pathogen. Infectious agents is another name for pathogens because they cause disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pathogen requires a host to grow and survive. The immune system of the human body protects the body from infections. The body\u2019s immune system can easily defeat pathogens, but some have the potential to cause disease and even be lethal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When such a pathogen enters a host’s body, it skips the immune system’s defenses and uses the host’s resources to replicate before leaving and infecting a new host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the type, there are various methods by that pathogens can be spread. These include transmission via skin-to-skin contact, body fluids, airborne particles, and infected surfaces.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, when you have developed a basic understanding of what is pathogen, we will explain different types of pathogens, what diseases they cause, and their transmission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
