Pathogenic bacteria are those which cause disease. You can identify a link between a bacterium and a disease by isolating the bacterium in a statistically significant number of occurances of the disease. Proving the link is causative is more difficult, but could be done with a cohort study or in vivo experimentation. Probably the most well documented case in recent years is the proving of Helicobacter pylori as a causative agent of stomach ulcers.

How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?
The blood cells detect the pathogen The pathogens release toxins The blood cells make antibodies to fit the toxins ( they have to be a specific shape) The antibodies stick the bacteria together ready to be engulfed by he white blood cells The White blood cells remember the antibodies needed for that pathogen so they can make antibodies quicker next time the pathogen invades
How can you tell if your body has detected the presence of a pathogen in your body?
for a single pathogen ... you can't. In fact you can't ever detect the "detection" process. But you can feel when your immune system is responding to pathogens: you secreat inferon and that gives you the shivers (fever), and that rotten, worn-out feeling that we refer to as "flu".
