pathogens - micro organisms that cause disease. all viruses are pathogenic but only some are pathogenic to man.

certain bacteria cause disease in man.

spoilage organisms - micro organisms that do not cause disease but they do spoil food by growing in the food and producing substances which alter the colour, texture, and odour of the food

E.G = souring of milk , mould on breads and rotting of fruits and veg
