Pathogenic prokaryotes release toxins in the body or endospores in the body that leads to a homeostatic imbalance in the body causing disease and possibly death. Prokaryotes have a cell wall and some prokaryotes such as gram-negative bacteria have lipopolysaccarides that are very toxic to the body causing a homeostatic imbalance/disease resulting in death. When you force contact of pathogens to other humans that have developed anti-biotic resistance this pathogen can be extremely contagious and wipe out a portion of the population.

What is more likely biological warfare or bio terrorists?
Most countries have signed agreements that biological agents will not be used in warfare so biological warfare is unlikely especially given that some of the countries who are big believers in no biowarfare are nuclear capable. Bioterrorism is more likely as people acting independently of government/state can do what they feel fit. Also the word "terrorism" gives a clue as to the objective. The threat of bioterrorism achieves the goal of terrorising even if the terrorists lack the capablility of producing a weapon which would cause serious harm. At present the world is "terrorised" by the threat of a naturally occurring strain of the flu virus the idea of bioterrorism can easily feed off these ideas and create conspiracy theories and terror.
